BRAND / MAKER: Pat Sandler for Wellmore
MATERIAL: n/a, feels like silk/wool knit (like St. John)
CONDITION: Very Good! Garment had a bunch of moth nibbles when found, all of which have been hand-mended. Please see photos for examples of the worst of the areas. Dress presents really nicely and mends are only noticeable upon inspection. Such a beautiful piece that has a lot of life left!
