Condition:
The overall condition is ??? with the following:
THE FIRST
Losses: The pants appear to be missing the lining as evidenced by the remains along the side seam openings. Chain stitched belt loops on the jacket indicate there may have been a belt that accompanied the ensemble.
Fading/Color Change: There are some yellowed color variations on the jacket at the collar, top left shoulder, the right sleeve hem, the front right upper bodice, and along the opening edges.
Soiling/Spots: The jacket lining is moderately-heavily soiled throughout.
THE SECOND
Losses: There are two button or belted loops but neither buttons or belt exists. The collar appears to be missing a piece as evidenced by stitching holes along the lining and the unfinished look of the current collar. The sleeve hems appear to have had another piece attached that is now missing.
Soiling/Spots: There are some spots along the bottom hemline in the lining and a watermark along the bottom left lining.
THE THIRD
Split/Separated Seams: The neckline finishing tape is coming unstitched on both the front and back and the skirt is detaching at the hips on both sides. The turned up hemline is starting to separate from the organza that is stitched to the dress.
Losses: There are some small holes on the front left hip, likely where a pin or embellishment was worn.
Soiling/Spots: There are two small dark spots on the front right hip at the top of the flounce.
Insect Damage: There are holes but inconclusive if caused by insect activity.
Repairs/Alterations: The back skirt has been reattached.
