Overall the skirt is in great shape, however the zipper rusted a little at some point and some of that rust transferred to the skirt fabric. There are two small rust spots on the back of the skirt near the top (See photos). Fortunately, the pattern on this skirt is so busy it is hardly noticeable. We were able to remove the rust from the zipper, but there is some rust staining on the zipper tape, which is not visible when worn. Still wearable as is. Priced accordingly.
