Description
The soft wool knit fabric of this circa early 1970's Norman Norell skirt suit is a rich red color. The design of the suit is beautifully simple, its clean lines accented by the covered buttons and patch pockets favored by Norell. The jacket has a high stand collar, the four functional pockets, lightly padded shoulders, seaming down the front and darts at the bust. It is hip-length with long sleeves and gently fitted, designed to skim over the body without fitting too tightly. The straight skirt has a narrow waistband and closes with a side zipper. Both pieces are lined in red silk (the sleeves of the jacket are left unlined). This iconic designer suit is in very good to excellent condition. As shown in the last photo, there is a small mended area behind the fourth button down and a faint mark on the fabric next to the fifth bound buttonhole, which is hidden by the button when the jacket is closed.
