Condition

Good vintage shape with minor signs of her age and use well-accounted for in price. 65+ years old. 

About half of the collar's faux pearls are in pretty rough shape, probably from being hit with an iron at some point. None are particularly easy to see as they nestle into the Angora(?) trim.

Some of the faux pearl buttons are missing or show wear to their shiny nacre finish.

One vertical rib of the sweater has had some darning at some point. See photos.

Overall the set is more worn-in and softened than a set I'd call "excellent" would be.

A great choice if you aren't condition-picky and don't want to chuck $225-550 at a set like this, which is what the comps are currently priced. 

Also... It's PINK!
