It does not show from the outside, but it has left a raw edge on the inside of the dress. Vintage Ribbon style seam binding could be sewn in if you prefer to finish off the raw edge, or fine if left as is. PLEASE REFER TO THE ZOOM FEATURE ON THE PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAILS AND DESCRIPTIONS.

*PLEASE NOTE: ABOUT VINTAGE

Please understand that vintage clothing and vintage fabric have age to it, and even when in excellent condition, they show wear. They are not new items. Even the most cared for vintage items of clothing is likely to have some wear and tear and vintage pieces can commonly have tiny spots/marks, fading/yellowing, or pin holes. I attempt to present all damage by describing and photographing it but sometimes little things get by me.
