C O N D I T I O N Very good vintage condition. Ready to wear! Several very tiny holes located on the back of the coat; they have been very nicely re-woven and aren't noticeable when worn. Two tiny pinholes in the lining; not seen while worn. The buttons don't appear to be original, but they are darling regardless!
