This dress has snaps at the cummerbund waist and ties at the top. In mint condition, the fabric of the dress should be very crisp and full. The cummerbund is prone to fading, it should be a very vivid blue – some varieties are almost purple. Frequently the ties are missing.
The delicate chain necklace that holds the pearl drop pendant is very prone to tarnishing and can be quite hard to find in mint condition. The dress, white purse and black shoes are fairly easy to find.
