Condition:

THE FIRST
The overall condition is very good structurally though there are some very light spots on the front of each shoulder as well as a variegation of color on the front right blouse near the placket. There is also a variegation in color on the front skirt drape.

THE SECOND
The overall condition is very good structurally on all pieces though there are some loose quilting threads throughout the jacket, mostly along the neckline and hem. The blouse has some soiling along the neckline and some spots on the front right near placket, left sleeve cuff, and some loose threads on the front blouse hem.

THE THIRD
The overall condition is good though the entire ensemble is heavily altered. The sleeves have been hemmed and straightened, the two top buttons are not attached (but maintained with garment), the under arms are discolored from wear, there is a loose thread along the back left shoulder, and a discolored spot on the center back hem. The skirt has a dark spot on the front left hip, the back waist darts and waistband has been altered and extended along with the center back seam and the belt is worn but in tact.

Everything is sold 'As Is’. The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use. All other condition issues are stated above.
