Description
This hot pink, raw silk suit from the early 1960's has purple slubs if you look very closely at the fabric--fantastic! The slightly boxy jacket has four patch pockets each trimmed with braided self-fabric, as are the neckline, hem and sleeves. Both the shoulders and the sleeves of the jacket are quite narrow, even though the jacket is boxy through the waist area. The sleeves and the hem have side slits, showing a bit of Asian influence in the design. The jacket buttons are also made of braid, and the lining is hot pink silk. The pencil-cut skirt has a high waistband and darts for shaping, with an off-center metal zipper in one back dart, and a silk lining. This gorgeous silk suit is in excellent condition and has only one issue--it is too small through the hips for the skirt to fit onto any of our mannequins. If you are petite, you are in luck with this one! Although the suit has no label, it was expertly made by a skilled dressmaker.
