A fine example of a 1940s skirt suit in a rich jade green.

The high-quality faille fabric has a twill-style rib texture and subtle sheen.  The pretty period collar and petal pleats to the waist are both feminine and elegant. Exquisite peacock ore colour buttons effortlessly take this suit from day to evening.

The skirt has an unusual sweetheart curve to the back and two pleats for ease of movement in the pencil-style design.  Both pieces are fully lined in a mink colour lining.
