She would look so gorgeous paired with some chunky sandals for a hot summery day!

The Gladiolus has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. She can safely be washed at home on a cool setting. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear. Her cuffs have been opened up on the inside, this is neatly done and adds more flexibility into them.

beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.
