This is an exquisite and elegant original 1940s two-piece ensemble, crafted from lightweight black linen with a fine, subtly textured weave and a lovely natural drape.
The short, beautifully tailored jacket features structured shoulders, a fitted waist, three-quarter sleeves and delicate decorative stitching across the upper front. Its distinctive buttoned hip tabs and glossy black buttons add a wonderful touch of 1940s tailoring.
The matching dress has a beautifully shaped neckline with soft overlapping details, short sleeves and a fitted waist accentuated by its original matching belt. The gently pleated skirt falls into a graceful, understated silhouette. Side metal zipper.
A wonderfully versatile ensemble that can be worn together for a sophisticated 1940s look or styled separately.
A timeless example of the elegant, feminine tailoring of the 1940s.
