CONDITION
Good condition.
-Lining is intact, strong and wearable, but has some unfortunate coloursmudges from the velvet, see photos and one small mark by the back of the hem. Obviously doesn't show when worn, and outer velvet has no signs of fade or uneveness so this doesn't detract.
-Belt backing has some repair stitches in places where it had come loose, but this doesn't show when worn.
-Velvet is very good, nice and smooth and not much sign of crushing or wear. It has some slight puckering to waist seams at placket, and very minorly to the collar edges, but nothing too noticeable when worn.
