Missing Buttons

Price of dress reflects the current condition of the piece and includes shipping within the US.

History / Condition: Purchased from Closet Child less then a year after it's original release and shipped from Japan to America, making me at least the second owner. Dress is wearable but is definitely NOT in new condition. It has been to several tea parties, outdoor events and got caught in the rain once. I was planning on replacing the waist tie buttons and so removed them, but now cannot find them (the original buttons) at all. The removable waist ties are in wearable condition. The removable bow pin is also in wearable condition.

Laundry Notes: It was last dry cleaned a little over a year ago and was worn once after cleaning; has not been worn since. The professional dry cleaning service that I took it to ran a water test (where they dab a bit of water on the inside of a seam or somewhere else not visible) on the material and said that it failed the test. I, while wearing it once, encountered a light spring shower and saw no evidence of dye running. So it's care instructions are not reliable. Due to these concerns, I would prefer to ship it to you as-is, or upon request I can have it dry cleaned at my local establishment and then shipped out to you (this will delay the ship-out date by a week at minimum).

Allergy Concerns: Dress has been stored in a closet for the last year, year and a half maybe, among other Lolita pieces as well as vintage clothing items (including furs, antique Chinese silks, so on). I also dog sit and live in a country town, so in theory dress may have been exposed to pet hair and to farm dust.
