Losses: There are several hooks missing from the center front closure. Fading/Color Change: The front right skirt has a large spot that has lightened near the hemline. The inner lining appears to have darkened due to age. Soiling/Spots: There is a dark spot on front right waist, heavy soiling under each arm on both the lining and shell.
