The vest has holes in the print fabric around the back of the neck, about 15. Most are small but some are 1/4 inch. The fabric is frayed and split on the seams under the arms of the vest. A few tiny 1/8 inch holes on the blue area.
The dress has a 1/8 inch hole at the front of the neck with some tiny worn spots below it.
5 small 1/8 inch holes on the front of one arm and 3 more holes on the back of that same sleeve.
Some small fine wear spots on the back of the neck and on the sleeves where the elbows would be.
There is a 1/4 inch hole on the lower back of the dress.
Much of the print trim around the hem has damaged. The silk is split on the bottom edge most of the way around the hem. On the front trim at the hem, most of the yellow squares are holes, others are fraying. There are also fraying in the fibers of the stripes. There are some old repairs where the trim had split.
