The overall condition is good through the jacket has two splits in the front left facing at the second hook and eye down from the top. There are a couple of loose lame threads on the back left sleeve cap and the silver thread appliques have darkened from age as well as having some loose threads throughout. The lining of the jacket has some soiling along the center back pleat and a couple of spots on the front left interior at chest level. The dress has some loose lame threads on the left shoulder where the hook and eye closures are stitched as well as around each armhole. The silver thread appliques have darkened from age and have loose threads as well. The interior lining has a few soiled spots, mostly in the upper bodice area and the hemline appears to have been let out. Everything is sold 'As Is'.
