Very good vintage condition. Ready to wear! A small portion of the fringe has become dried and curled; located at end of right sleeve and on back of right shoulder. Light iron sheen along the waist darts. One super tiny, faint brown spot on the embroidery, and some on embroidery located on back left side. One super small hole on left shoulder on the sleeve has been mended; it isn't seen when worn because it's hidden by the fringe. A small areas of very minor fabric surface wear on front placket; only really noticeable upon inspection. One of the "pearls" has fallen out of one of the snaps on the left cuff; still snaps/functions just fine! All these issues are very minor and do not distract from how fantastic and rare this piece is!
