Condition:

JACKET
The overall condition is good. The fur trim on the neckline is coming loose in a few areas as well as at left cuff in one area. The fabric on the front covered snap closures is wearing away and one front button is missing.

DRESS
The overall condition is good. The center front neckline rhinestone pin has 9 rhinestone missing and has created some small holes where it is attached. The front slit opening is starting to come undone on the center front seam. The center back zipper closure shows signs of repair, as evidenced in gray thread, as well as the fabric pulling away from the zipper tape at zipper bottom. The center back hem has some soiling as well as a small, pinhead sized, hole.

PANTS
The overall condition is good. There is evidence of the center back and pant leg zipper replacement/repair. There is some striation in the fabric near the waist that is due to stress. The interior waist belt has been repaired multiple times as well as two areas at the center back.

The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use. As everything is sold 'as is', we suggest that you request a more detailed condition report and additional photo. This can be obtained via the INQUIRE button or by email at [email protected].
