    My wife and I lived in Liberia in the late 1980's, being forced to leave in early 1990 during the civil war which
    started in December 1989
    , and this dress was purchased originally 30+ years ago.  My wife enjoyed these dresses as very comfortable and cool dresses to wear. It has been stored in our smoke-free, pet-free, pest-free house in dry Colorado and is in great condition.
