Very nice, black fabric looks sturdy though its age suggests wearing with care, the red silk belt lining has a single 1/2-inch split that indicates fragility, all beads present and intact, the underarms have a vague ruddy yellowish mark from perspiration, lower half of the skirt has a faint gradual fade that's hard to perceive unless carefully compared, back skirt has 4-5 very subtle marks in random places that are also hard to notice, one side of the two-part buckle is clouded and more yellow/amber than the original (indicates instability in the plastic)
