Condition:
It has had a cool hand-wash bath, there were a few grubby marks on it from storage and wear. The wash was very light and cool water, and did come up a lot cleaner but there are a few marks still there albeit a lot paler now. There is also still very feint darkening under the arms and variations in colour within the pleats and skirt which I have photographed, so please look at all the images and know that she is lovely but not pristine..
