This is a beautiful Genuine heavily beaded thin dress about a 100 years old. Yes, the set has issues. Almost all raw edges need reinforced ( bias tape?) not to show ragged. It was handmade on flimsy crepe material before sizes were put on garment. The underneath tank top zippered shell does not have much give. The jacket & under pleated slip could be almost any size. Missing small not noticeable amounts of beads.
So there are 4 ways you could purchase this dress:
THIS LISTING.  1. AS IS. No guarantee, No refund. 5.00.. in need of repair.
2. REPAIRED
All edged with matching iron on & sewed black bias tape on backs. Missing beads replaced. 5.00. For me to do the work involved, you would have to pay for it first. I would send you pictures, within the week, before mailing. If you don't like it, you would get a full refund before mailing. Once it is sent, refund is only available for 24 hours using tracking number. Due to past experiences, I cannot afford to have someone buy it, wear it for their special occasion & refund it.
Anyways, after repair it still will not be strong fabric, I suggest a second layer of nylon (which I have available with sleeves) or silk.
3. If you would like the 1960's pleated underdress added at only .00 additional, no additional shipping just email me. Pleated under dress is 36" long, 40" around with a 3 inch hem above pleats. I am willing to remove the 3 inch hem I added, at no additional charge, if you would like. Model in pictures is 5' 2". Any further alteration would be charged.
