Fiber/Care: unknown, cotton pique and cotton or cotton/silk blend gingham, gently hand wash or dry-clean

Condition: one tear-drop shaped bead dropped off. we can't figure out where it fell off from, but we'll include it. there is slight discoloration around the inner bodice and underarms that will likely lift with treatment (we gave it only a gentle wash), the hem could use a pressing we didn't get to
