Good vintage condition. There’s a 3” band on the skirt where the knit is looser than the tight weave of the rest of the suit. This is mostly masked when you’re wearing the jacket.

 

We put in a elastic waistband for the skirt done in a period correct fashion to help it stay up.

 

We repaired 2 small holes in the skirt.

 

Clean and ready to wear.
