The snap that used to close the skirt is not longer there, leaving a small tear and some thread - it could be replaced (the top of the skirt somewhat falls open when worn), though covering with an apron would hide it. The elastic at the collar may be a bit stretched out. On the lining, there's some soiling and a brown dot, but this doesn't show on the outside. Also, it appears that the bottom button is a replacement from the original. See last photo. Garment has been washed and is ready to wear.
