______ c o n d i t i o n

There are two faint spots near the skirt front top (as pictured) that easily blend in with the neutral shades and striking pattern. There is very minor pilling under the shirt sleeves. Also of note is that the pellon lining displays typical evidence of creasing and wear (also pictured) and should be stored and cleaned with care. Set is otherwise beautifully tailored, structurally sound and is ready to wear.
