Condition
Good vintage condition overall. The exterior is in excellent shape with just a small mark near the hem and two pin-holes in the skirt (see image). The lining shows age-related wear and would benefit from professional cleaning: light discolouration at the neckline, heavier staining under the arms, and several moth holes — a few pin-sized near the neckline and a larger cluster at the skirt back
The ideal short 1980s party dress for a lady who likes subdued colours and wants a change from black.

Well loved. The first 7 pages have nicks (mostly at at the bottom) – as though they had a run in with the garden shears! – The worst one is that shown on the front cover. There is a crease on bottom bright corner of the front cover and the back corners are dog-earred. The spine is significanlty worn, especially at the top. It’s a bit grubby on the cover as one would expect when it has been handled by a gardener, the nature of paper books is of course that they can’t be cleaned.
