♛Condition

Very good vintage shape with minor signs of her age and use well-accounted for in price. 70+ years old. 

Pinhole near the skirt's front vent, backed in same fabric of the hem so does not go through. Pinhole on sleeve near the underarm. Age toning at the inner edges of neckline, not seen during wear. Scattered seam separations to the jacket's lining.

A couple tiny and VERY faint splash marks near the lower buttons that I noticed when scrutinizing under the stark light of my studio. Nearly invisible in "normal" indoor lighting. Somebody wrote her name on the jacket label.

Still sturdy and presents well, just like the photos show. Great suit for those of us who favor style and price over "perfection" in our vintage.
