Condition:

The overall condition is good structurally though the jacket lining has large splits in the armholes and further down the lengths of each sleeve. A 0.75 hole is visible in the front left waist lining and two smaller holes near the facing. There are some pulled threads through out the jacket exterior but most noticeably on the left shoulder, right and left collar points, and the front hemline. The skirt lining has several large holes around the entire bottom hemline and the center back seam has been ripped and restitched. There are alterations made to the skirt hips and stressed seams just under the waist band. There are some pulled threads on the front and back exterior at hip level.
