Brand

N/A. Seemingly handmade (no labels, unfinished hems, suspect zip is older than petticoat)

Condition

Very good condition. There is a cluster of nine tiny spots hidden under the tulle, the largest of which is 5mm wide.
The waist has at some point be adapted - darts have been let out and a small piece of non-matching elastic has been added next to the zip. It can only be seen from the inside.
