Condition - I found a small hole in the shoulder that is covered by the collar. I didn't notice it until I was measuring. It has facing behind it and it doesn't show while on. The lining of the bra is disintegrating. The powder does not seem to be coming out at this point but it's lumpy. I think there are 2 options. You could either just cut out the lining and wear it without or replace it. I initially planned to replace it myself but never got around to it so I'm selling it as-is.
