Condition:
The overall condition of the bodice is good. The bodice appears to have been created with fabric from a previous era with additional signs of alterations. The lining shows some staining around the seam lines and the red chiffon is worn in many areas.
The overall condition of the petticoat is good with some general soiling around the hem with some thinning in the hem binding. There is a faint brown spot on the front hip with a darker brown spot on the back hip, closer to the hem.
