Description
This ivory and black tweed wool 60’s suit brings to mind a cool blond Hitchcock heroine. The jacket is long and slightly boxy, with nice details like the inverted pleats at the front and back shoulder and at the bust and cuffed, dolman sleeves. Two rows of shiny black plastic buttons close the jacket, which is fully lined in black crepe. The straight and narrow skirt has a sewn down pleat at the back. The only noted flaws are some loose stitching on the makers’ labels, and 2 tiny rust spots on the skirt (see pics). The suit is otherwise in very good condition.
