Some feathers hanging loosely from loops of cord, almost certainly intentionally. Some feathers missing, bent, loose or broken, but with overall full appearance. Some loose threads. The interior pale blue lining now with stains in various colors, some presumably from the feather's dye, one seemingly makeup. Some yellowing at underarms. A few small holes to the lining. The hem slightly unraveled, not visible when worn. The Adrienne Landau label loose.
The green skirt in good condition. With two on-seam pocket. Minor marks, creases throughout, to be expected with age and use. Some wear to interior of waistband. Notes in yellow pen to interior. Unmarked, 36 in. long. The black jacket in excellent condition. The vibrant polychrome embroidery with minimal loose threads. Two covered buttons, loose but intact. Marked size 38.
