The fabric is delicate and would tear easily with an older, active child. There are some earlier repairs, as shown.
The front of the neck is a bit browned with age or body oils. I think it would launder up, but I did not want to presume what laundry product you might prefer to use.
There are a few brown spots on the hem
There are a couple of areas of fabric loss or wear, as pictured, on the body of the dress.
What a special gift for a new grandbaby, or something to keep for your own collection.
I will ship as soon as I receive payment.
