The overall condition is very good though there are some faint circular spots noticeable throughout the skirt, likely due to mineral residue left after pressing. There are no structural issues.

THE FOURTH
The overall condition is fair with the front right princess seam pulling loose just under the pocket, the center back seam pulling loose under the zipper, and some holes on the back left skirt near the ruffle, the largest is approximately 0.75". There are some small holes in the front of the dress around waist level. The right under arm seam is pulling loose as well and there are several holes in the back skirt lining as well as the back ruffle.
