No stains or fading. Heavily embroidered flowers with gold stitching. Rose buds throughout. Bottom side slits. Maxi style. Slits are a 19” long. Small holes in armpits see photos. Bottom slit one side needs a stitching on seam. Not terrible. Easy stitch repair for this beauty of a dress! Top back hook is missing. Pit to pit 20.5”, length 56”, waist 20”. This dress is worth the stitching repair. Just gorgeous!
