The dress is slightly yellowed, most likely from age. There are two small stains on the bottom right side of the dress. There are also four dirt marks on the from right side of dress that might be fingerprint marks. Some of the embroidered flowers are coming undone as there are loose threads on the front and many on the inside of the dress. In addition, there is a frayed rip down the center of the collar. It is suspected this was done unintentionally since there is a single thread still attached around the collar and the blue embroidery is still intact on one side. Lastly, there are two small stains on the back, halfway down. One black stain on the right side that look like fingerprints. The other is a brown stain that looks like paint.
