Condition: Fabulous condition considering her age: It has two small repairs on the cuffs (view photo), not remarkable. The inner area of the button-holes shows signs of use and we are not sure if the buttons are the originals. One tine hole has been repaired on the side seam of the skirt, close to the very bottom (view photo). No other issues! No holes, fading, sweat marks, etc. Clean and ready to wear!
