As perfect and pristine as it was originally, to the point that it may never have been worn. Tags may still be attached. Near Mint shows only the slightest of wear in an otherwise perfect garment.
This means it may have only been worn once or twice. For this reason, you will often find wedding suits, cocktail dresses, and gowns for special occasions in Near Mint condition. Excellent condition means totally sound in structure and appearance.
Any wear is the result of having been worn occasionally, but its clear that the garment has been well cared for and stored. Very Good condition means wearable with some minor flaws. The flaws could be stains, torn seams, or a fallen hem, for example. Buttons may be missing, but ideally there are still some to either match or inspire a replacement. Its often possible to take a garment you find in this condition and mend, alter, or specially treat stains to turn it into a garment in Excellent condition.
Many of my own dresses are in this condition. Overall the garment is good, and any flaw still standing doesnt prevent you from wearing and enjoying it.
Good means wearable, but the dress is no longer in pristine condition. In this case, you normally couldnt achieve excellent condition even if repairs are made. That said, often if you love a piece, you will just accept the flaws. These are often vintage clothes that were simply well loved and thus well worn in their day. Other times it may be a case where the garment just wasnt stored very well.
Poor- multiple holes, tears, stains, etc. Garment is unwearable, but good for study/ pattern.
Even with garments in Excellent and Very Good condition, you should expect to at least dry clean and do minor repairs on each garment before it is worn. Stains are often found in vintage and it's up to you how much you want to try and remove them. Consider that the more aggressive the treatment, the greater the odds you may do damage to that otherwise beautiful garment. Sometimes it's not even possible to remove it. Honestly, a few stains here and there on vintage doesnt bother me.I truly only see the artistry of the dress, and trust me this is pretty much the case for everyone who will see it.
