Condition:THE FIRSTThe overall condition is fair though there is soiling under each arm along with a small split near the front right sleeve, multiple areas of discoloration noticeable in the white flower print, and roughly a 3 inch abrasion along the skirt's left side seam. The shoulder pads are also worn and opened along with the brand label. THE SECONDThe overall condition is very good structurally though there is some light discoloration along the center back of the skirt and the hem tape in the back skirt slit is loose at the top of the split.
