Oscar de la Renta Multicolor Floral Short Sleeve Ballerina Skirt Suit - M, 1980s

About the Item

Featuring a full circle skirt with a nearly 13-foot sweep, this ensemble's fit and flare silhouette is modernized by an on-trend shorter length and eye-catching graphic print. The heavyweight cotton jacquard fabric not only keeps the suit perky all day, but also adds a subtle tonal pattern to the weave itself for even more interest. Two-piece suit including short sleeve peplum jacket and voluminous matching circle skirt. Collarless jacket features oversized (1 ½”) shoulder pads, plunging V-neck front and princess seams front and back for flared peplum effect; banded short sleeves and ornamental flap pockets each hip. Four button front closure; fully lined in white acetate. Skirt features plain waistband and voluminous full circle sweep; on seam pockets both sides.

  • Milly Brown Satin Cone Bra Bolero and Petrol Ruched Pencil Skirt Suit - XS, 2002
    By Milly New York
    Located in Tucson, AZ
    Angular, sexy and powerful from top to bottom, this satin suit is built of two pieces that can be worn together, as separates, or with our complementary Milly Autumn Roses suit listed under separate cover. With a sly nod to Gaultier’s fierce conical bodices and a skintight ruched pencil skirt that cups the derrière, the set has an edgy femininity that demands attention. The lining of each piece matches the exterior of the other, creating a sophisticated, intentional mismatch. Mismatched skirt and jacket set with complementary lining. Chocolate satin jacket features gently conical bust, surplice bracelet sleeves and 2” self ruffle around all edges. Clutch silhouette with no closures; fully lined in petrol silk to match skirt. Skirt features front and back 7” wide ruched panels from waist to hem for extra narrow fit; left side notch at knee for ease of walking.
