    Light gray summer uniform with A.R.C. collar pins and Military Welfare Service patch on the sleeve. The jacket is named to Mary Louise Ransom Scattered light staining and overall discoloration. Sewn in shoulder pads. Size 16 label in the jacket (the skirt has no labels). Staining under the arms and down the sleeves. Several small holes under one arm and around the patch and on the collar. A few other pinprick holes. The jacket and skirt are ever so slightly different shades (very minor). Skirt buttons on one side. Some tiny scattered holes and a few areas of discoloration.


    NOTE: If you decide to dry clean this, you may need to remove all the buttons (and obviously the insignia pins) because the chemicals used can crack the buttons or the buttons may color bleed. These are the more sturdy of the ARC buttons so they may hold up just fine, but still something to be aware of.
