Condition:
skirt - the silk is stained, darned and damaged in places but there is enough silk to re-use. the green velvet panel has had braiding or lace attached to it which has left stich marks on the velvet which may steam out. Jacket - The silk is very damaged and darned. The green velvet is stained under the arm badly. Both jacket and skirt could be re-made or the pattern/design used for reproduction to be made. The purple velvet cape has been re modelled from an earlier garment possibly part of a skirt. The appliqués are useful. The chintz is possibly from a pelmet. The parrot appliqué could be reused and black velvet ribbon. All very useful for costume, drama, theatre or film.
