This could mean that the gown has been patched, that it has impossible to remove soil marks, light underarm discoloration, or that hem dirt that may preclude a seamstress hemming up the garment. Laces may be fragile, nylons may be grey, chiffons may have a pull and satins may have scarring... Please check each gown's description page for specifics. You may decide if the dress is suitable, and we will strive to answer all questions. If you are willing to accept that the passage of time may have left its mark on a gown without diminishing its distinction, a vintage good dress can be a superb value. Often times these gowns are most affordable. Said Oliver Goldsmith in 1754, "I...chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown. Not for a fine glossy surface, but for such qualities as would wear well. We sometimes had those little rubs which providence sends to enhance the value of its favors. Handsome is that handsome does." "Vintage good" beaded bags may be missing a few beads which does not detract from the overall statement of the bag, but bear mention. Headpieces such as orange blossoms made from wax may have slight damage, but are still beautiful and wearable for your wedding and should be considered a piece of history. Veils may have a mend that is not readily noticeable, but bears mention. Please check each item's description page for specifics.
