The "Bride" gown has the vertical nylon tricot panel on the underskirt. The dress is slightly dingy, and has shadows of discoloration in certain light. There is a faint line on the side near the hem. I tried to show that in the 8th photo. There are a couple of spots that look like the result of water drops, or maybe something pressed against the dress to make depressions in the fabric. There are no holes or tears in the skirt, and the lace and nylon trim is all intact and attached. The bodice has several issues, especially on the back and underarms. There are holes and fraying under the arms at the seams, and one side has a hole along the seam in the back. There are several areas of fraying and snags in the fabric on the back of the bodice. The lace trim is intact and attached on the sleeves and neck.
The slip needs the seam resewn at the waist. It looks like the seam was not sewn correctly to begin with so this area may never have been sewn. There is a small hole in the net trim.
The veil has a "L" shaped tear, about 3/8 inch and 5/8 inch. It is at the top in the photo, but it isn't visible since the veil is lying flat. The tear is very neat; it looks more like it was cut. There is also a pin-sized hole at the opposite side.
Please note that I am not an expert; just a collector selling some of my collection.
