Minimal evidence of wear. There is slight discolor from improper storage along the top front of the right shoulder as pictured. There is a single rhinestone missing from each cuff and the bottom button on the jacket is a replacement. The button is the same fabric cover and size but slightly different in shape. Overall this suit is clean, well preserved and presents beautifully with no other issues of note.
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
