Fair vintage condition - Some overall wear and pilling to the piece with a few small spots. The painted pattern is also slightly worn in places. Some faint underarm marks that are more noticeable from the inside of the garment and faint color fade to the brown trim. Hook is original but tarnished. It should be noted too that there is no lining to this piece - so you May want a slip.
