Wasp-waistline with three tiers of fabric constructing the peplum. Heart-shaped glass buttons. Pencil skirt with a side metal zipper, button closure and back kick pleat.

label: Nardis of Dallas

condition: excellent. Fabric is crisp and bright, freshly cleaned, pressed and ready to wear. Checked for any issues like stains, holes and loose seams, any issues have been repaired. One tiny rust mark that is not noticeable at all, see last photo. The glass buttons were originally painted to look like pearls, however the coating wore off. One button is discolored and you may want to replace these altogether, but leaving up to buyer since these are the original buttons.
