THE SECOND
The overall condition is very good structurally though there are some pulled threads on the right sleeve hem and elbow. The sequins appear intact though their finish has worn on most and the front left shoulder yoke has some loose mylar trim. There is some loose threads along the bottom left hemline.

THE THIRD
The overall condition is very good though it appears to be missing a separate tie belt. There are some grazed areas on the front right facing area and front left sleeve at elbow. Small snags or pin holes are noticeable under the right lapel on the front shoulder.
