♛Condition

Very good vintage shape with some light signs of previous use. Cleaned. 50-60+ years old.

To note, though: for whatever reason, this Pendleton doesn't have the regular two-sided zipper. It has a one-sided metal Talon zipper. So I had trouble closing it on the dress form when the sapphire side was displayed. You could swap out or reverse the zipper, or maybe it's easier to close on a person? At any rate, I'm selling for the emerald side, knowing that to display the blue side may present some difficulty.

It's a fair price, given it originally retailed for $30 back in the day. The Pendleton mill these days charges around $290 for the sole pleated skirt in their current line. I lived right by the mill and used to gawk at their beautiful products all the time...beautiful, and out of my price range!
