Condition:
THE FIRST
The overall condition is good though the jacket and skirt both have noticeable yellowing/soiling throughout the exterior shells. Specifically, the jacket has a yellow spot on the back right collar, the shoulders, elbows and edges of both sleeve hems, and front hemline. The skirt has yellowed spots on the front and sides of the waist band and around the entire hemline. The skirt hem has been let out and the waist band appears to have been reattached.
THE SECOND
The overall condition is good though the jacket has some pulled threads located on the left lapel, left sleeve, back collar, front right sleeve hem, and back right sleeve cap. Three are soiled spots on the front hem on each side of the opening and along each sleeve hem, especially near the button plackets. The pants have several pulled threads located on the front rise, knees of both legs, back right seat, and both legs towards the cuffs. The suit appears to have been previously pressed.
THE THIRD
The overall condition is good though the jacket has some very minor soiling under each arm in the lining and there is a Rhinestone missing on the top left button. The pants have been altered at the back rise and along the waist band with an extension to the back left opening. Snaps were added to the bottom cuffs, and there are some faint white marks on the front left leg. Both pieces have been previously pressed which left a faint white sheen on both items.
