Description
Stealing a chic look from menswear, this 1970's ladies' "tuxedo" is made up of three pieces: a black velveteen jacket with satin lapels and trim, black velveteen tux pants with a satin waistband and side stripe, and an all satin button-front vest to complete the look. The three pieces look great together, and as a bonus can also be worn with other items in your wardrobe. (For example, try the vest with a white shirt, the pants with a slinky little tank top, and the jacket with a pencil skirt or thrown over jeans a t-shirt. The jacket is a longer length, covering the hips, and closes with a single satin-covered button. It has slightly padded shoulders. The sleeves are not quite full length and have decorative buttons at the wrists. The jacket's satin lapels are wide, pointy and very dramatic. The v-neck vest comes to two points at the hem, and buttons closed. The high-waisted pants have a zip front and flared legs. The pants are unlined, but the jacket has an acetate taffeta lining. This suit is in very good to excellent condition, with its only issue a mark in the velvet of the pants legs where they were folded over a hanger in storage.
