ERA: True vintage item from the 1920s

MATERIAL: silk crepe chiffon
LABEL: none
All sheer crepe silk chiffon in a bright peach background with large green flowers. The dress is pullover style with no openings. Long sleeves with fitted cuffs, dropped waist with fitted band that has pin tucks. The skirt has permanent pleats, pleated ruffle down the side. There is some cotton lining inside of the band around the skirt, otherwise the dress is unlined. Matching bow on the front of a shoulder.
CONDITION: The dress is in good condition. The full lining has been removed. There is a patch on the inside of one of the shoulders, it looks like a recent iron-in patch. The patch covers three 1/2 inch holes on the shoulder. The patch is stiff and cannot be removed.
There is a 1/2+ inch hole on the top of the other shoulder, the fabric near it is delicate. There are scattered small holes over the dress. Most are pin head size, but a few are 1/2 to 1 inch in size. The fabric is delicate and needs to be handled with care. I'm concerned about the holes on the shoulders and the upper back, these holes may spread and make the dress too difficult for wear.
