Condition:
THE FIRST
The overall condition is very good though the jacket has some minor soiling under each arm in the lining. The skirt has two orange spots on the center front low hip.
THE SECOND
The overall condition is good though the jacket is soiled along the neckline and lapels, under each arm in the lining, the interior sleeve hems, and spots on the front panel. There is some discoloration around each button hole making the color appear purple. The front closure has been altered and snaps have been attached at a later date than construction. Verdigris is noticeable in the "Dior" stamp in each button. Belt loops suggest a belt that is missing. The skirt has some faint white spots on the front right and back hip, and a small faint dark spot on the back right at thigh level.
THE THIRD
The overall condition is very good structurally though the jacket has a white sheen to it from being previously pressed. The skirt appears to have been let out along the right side front and back seams and the hem appears to have been altered and restitched. The skirt shows signs of being previously pressed.
