There is a darned hole on the back of the waist, but this is hidden underneath the belt when it is tied up. There is a mend above the zip under the arm. There is a small pull to one seam on the back of the shoulder, and one to the waist. These are not bad, nor do they affect the stability of the dress, but worth mentioning. All shown in photos.
