Excellent condition. Slight discoloration at shoulders and sleeves. Modesty triangle piece in front looks to have been a later addition due to its unfinished edges and haphazard stitching.

Good condition. The label indicates this piece was sold at Saks Fifth Avenue. A tag appears to have have been cut out of inner seam, it looks to possibly be a union workers label.
