Overall good condition with some flaws to note:
- One sleeve is torn at the cuff
- Wear to the other sleeve around the cuff
- Lace trim around the bottom appears to have been torn off
- Some bead trim loss
- Front lace trim on one side has a tear
- Missing two hook closures at the waist
This piece would be wearable with extra care but is best as a study or display piece due to age.
