Though there is some color fading, I still think it makes an incredibly stunning display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBodice is lined with brown cotton and boned. Buttons down the front center with four hidden hooks and eyes also at the waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe sleeve cuffs are lined with cream silk and trimmed with net lace. I'm not certain if the sleeves were meant to be worn with the cuffs turned out or not (I thought of this *after* I finished taking the photos), but perhaps it was an aesthetic choice, optional for the wearer?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLots and lots of beautiful hand stitching on this piece, though a few seams were done with a machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy favorite bits about this piece are the bows and of course the beautiful back!

Most notably there is color fading to the silk, as well as a few small spots\/stains. I did not notice any tears or strong odors. The lining is quite clean and the boning is intact.
