CONDITION
Good condition.
-Hem has been let down leaving a faint crease line 3.5" up.
-Small repair to the seam at the top of the zip.
-Belt is a bit as is but still wearable, it's backing fabric is quite worn, and it has had some additional holes punched in, two of which are missing the metal eyelets. It also looks like it has had the top stitching along the edges resewn. And it is missing the belt loop to hold it down, but this could be replaced a ribbon or even rubber band, just to hold the belt edge in place when worn.
