label: Judy Hornby Couture, Made in France, 100% silk, 10, dry clean only

condition: Fabric is crisp and bright, appears to be worn very little. Checked for any issues like stains, holes and loose seams. On close inspection there are a couple very tiny pindot age spots on the rayon lining, but these are not visible while wearing and could not find any spots on the silk chiffon (see close-ups). On very close inspection, there are tiny pulls to the silk chiffon, which is common with a delicate fabric like this, but nothing noticeable. Some loose threads along shoulders that are not noticeable.
