Condition:

THE FIRST
The overall condition is very good though the jacket has some faint soiling internally under each arm. There is some minor pilling and wear to the sleeve hems and bottom hemline. There is a 2" seam separation on the right waist.

THE SECOND
The overall condition is very good structurally though the jacket has some light soiling under the interior arm holes. There are some pulled threads on the shoulders, especially on the left shoulder, and there is some overall pilling on the outer sleeves, shoulders, and side seams. The skirt has been let out on the back seams and there is an open seam at the bottom where attached to the shell. The ensemble appears to have been previously pressed.
