Condition Report

Condition:

The overall condition is good with the following:

Structural Issues: The shoulders are still attached but are weakened due to losses and split seams. There are some small splits in the lamé on the front left exterior near the hips.
Split/Separated Seams: The shoulder seams have split on each side underneath the fur collar. There is a 3" split on the front left hemline near the center front opening. Some popped seams in the lining are noticeable nearest the front opening of the coat and along small lengths of the interior braided trims.
Losses: There is some losses along each of the shoulders.
Repairs/Alterations: There appears to be some form of quick repair work made on the back neckline where the collar attaches, the back yoke, and the front coat panels around waist level.
