Description

Light gray wool fabric with a subtle blue and white weave. Pointed cuffs and collar. Skirt has a back kick pleat. Jacket is lined with a yellow rayon crepe.

label: Courtshire Fashion

condition: selling as it is with moth damage and dinginess from storage. The good news is that all of the buttons are still present and fabric is sturdy and wearable – great for a costume. There is dinginess on the outside of the suit from storage, but this should clean up significantly with a good dry cleaning. There are also tiny brown age spots, mainly a trail down the front skirt, but they are only noticeable on close inspection. Many moth holes, as you can see in the photos – did not photograph all holes, but these are the most noticeable. Also the hem on the skirt is partially loose and the lining has loose seams, the most noticeable one is along the center lining seam, see last photos.
