DEEP BLACK TAFFETA SUZY PERETTE with gorgeous zig zag or chevron style ruffles on her incredibly generous skirt. This dress presents beautifully and is most certainly wearable as she is but she does have some wounds which are noted below:

- she has a small approx 1/4 inch size hole in her underarm seam on both sides, it appears that this was mended at some point but may need to be repaired again
- minor fabric separation at the front bodice where the fabric panels join at the centre neckline. This could easily be repaired by sewing a tight stitch to rejoin the panels smoothly.
- there appears to be some untidy stitching where the bodice joins the front of the sleeve on each side, not immediately noticeable but apparent when examining closely
- she appears to have been made smaller at some point in her past and there is evidence of stitch holes to the back of her skirt and bodice near the centre seams (see photos for details)
- stitching at the back of the bodice where the bodice joins the skirt is a little untidy, this could be redone to provide a very smooth line but she is still wearable as is.
- she has a small section of white mark to the rear right side near the waistband this appears more faded in real life than in the video and I believe this will easily come off with a damp cloth as it doesn’t appear to be a mark that has permeated the fabric.
