Very good vintage condition. Ready to wear! One tiny spot on back collar of coat. Some light streaks of color fade on coat. Super faint underarm marks that won't be noticeable when worn due to placement and the sheen of the fabric being distracting. Small repair at corner of both underarm gussets. Presents gorgeously - even more so in person!
