Condition:
THE FIRST
The overall condition is good though there are some popped stitches along the neckline ruffle and there are several soiled spots through out the dress, most noticeably along each of the ruffles, on the front left hem near the side seam, and the back waist.
THE SECOND
The overall condition is good structurally though there are several darkened spots throughout the coat, most noticeably on the front surrounding the placket, each sleeve cuff, and internally around the waist. There are some pulled threads on the back collar, on each shoulder especially the left sleeve. The belt leather facing is buckling but not cracked though there is some minimal loss around the prong holes. There is dark soiling along the pink leather facing. The belt is becoming unglued where attached at the buckle.
THE THIRD
The overall condition is good structurally though there are a few orange spots along the collar and neckline and some yellowing along the shoulders and each sleeve. The waist ties have darkened due to soiling and there is a 3" split along the left tie tip.
