Louis Féraud Turquoise Knife Pleat Power Skirt Suit w Provenance - US 8, 1980s
About the Item
From its striking color to its seductive neo-40s silhouette, this is a suit unafraid to make a bold impression...which makes sense when you realize it belonged to the wife of one of the most notorious mafiosi in American history.
Wool crêpe suit with peplum jacket and matching inverse pleat midi skirt. Jacket features collarless round neckline, puffed shoulders, front princess seams and finished left slash breast pocket; 4” trapunto stitched peplum backed in silk gabardine for stiffness. 4-button front closure with snap at waist, plus three ornamental buttons at each wrist; fully lined in “Louis Féraud” tonal imprint silk. Matching midi skirt with plain waistband and three deep inverse pleats from knee to hem, front and back; full princess seams front and back. Rear hidden nylon zipper closure with top button and interior hanging loops; fully lined in matching silk.

- Digby Morton Mustard Wool Bouclé Maximalist Appliqué Novelty Skirt - M, 1960sLocated in Tucson, AZUnderstated it is not, but somehow this skirt—which looks like the result of a threesome between a bath mat, several doilies and your grandmother’s pearls—manages not to be gaudy. Surprisingly, the mustard yellow acts as a neutral and pairs beautifully with a multitude of colors, so it’s more versatile than you might think. Not a statement piece, an exclamation. Maxi skirt heavily embellished with beads of multiple sizes and colors, pearls, sequins, ric rack, lace and fringe. Side metal zipper with double hook and tab closure; left on-seam pocket. Lined to embellishment in silk; embellishment backed in heavy duty felt.
