Description
This hot pink 1960's cocktail suit (and we do mean HOT pink!) is made of beautiful wool and silk blend shantung fabric. The jacket has slightly boxy fit, its simple shape accented with decorative horizontal seams across the front (above the bust and at the hip) and vertical seams from the bust to each decorative pocket flap. The jacket closes with pink molded plastic buttons inset with pink rhinestones. The sleeves are bracelet-length, and the back of the jacket is plain, without the decorative seaming of the front. The skirt is straight, with a separate waistband, darts at the front and back, and a button at the waist above the side metal zipper. The skirt is unlined, but the jacket has a bright pink crepe lining. There is a garment union tag in the jacket, but no other labels. Both pieces are in excellent condition, with no noted flaws. This suit is shown pinned to fit our mannequin, and should fit around a modern size 12, but please check the measurements for detailed sizing information.
