This dress came from the estate of an Los Angeles Internationally known flamenco dancer. She and her husband owned a restaurant and they both performed Flamenco dance, She also taught Flamenco dance..
Condition:I have only found one very slight tiny hole in the orange lining (not the outer dress fabric)which was difficult to find. It is very minor - high up- and not visible (lining) does not effect the wearability and still consider it in fabulous VTG condition.
I have many more images of this dress if you wish to see more. I am limited to 8 for this.Please email me.
