There is some light soiling along the neckline and each sleeve hem lining, and a larger orange soiled spot on the front left lapel just above the closure with larger and darker soiling along the interior spot, and a red spot on the front left chest pocket button. Each sleeve hem has some loose yarns. The skirt has a dark spot on the front near the center and the side seams have been altered and is noticeable in the lining. Both pieces have a smoke odor.

THE SECOND:
