1970s Delmar Couture Raw Silk Safari Trouser Suit
About the Item
This two-piece, couture-made trouser suit was designed in the 1970s and were popularised by luxury French designers Ted Lapidus and Yves Saint Laurent. Drawing on the safari styling that was so in vogue during this era, it features wide lapels, chunky tonal buttons and patch pockets which close with silver-tone metal buckles. The jacket is tailored from raw silk in rich buttery beige with tonal stitching. It is fully lined in peach viscose / acetate. The high-waist trousers have a wide-leg cut with single pleats at the front and back of each leg. They are unlined and fasten with a hidden zip and hook-and-eye closure to the front.
The label reads ‘Delmar Couture - 193 Sloane Street, Knightsbridge London SW1’ and is a made to order or bespoke ensemble. In excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note and we think it will work on sizes up to UK 10 or US 6. Our model is a UK 8-10 and 5ft 11in (180cm) and this suit fit her well.

1990s Couture Silk Floral Rose Print Dress and Jacket Suit
Located in London, GB
This enchanting 1990s printed silk 2 piece set is comprised of a simple shift dress and bolero to be worn as either as an ensemble or separates. The aesthetic is playful, summery and feminine and presents easily as formal or informal attire. The soft ivory silk is slightly embossed with an irregular texture atop a vibrant rose print design in sugar pink, canary yellow, sapphire blue and emerald green. The dress is sleeveless and broad straps are gathered at the shoulders. The full circle skirt is gathered into tight uniform pleats below the waist and flares generously to the calf. The hem is fluted in yellow satin to match the pretty satin rosette embellishments that feature on the waistband and atop of each shoulder. The bodice is lined in ivory silk.
The jacket has three quarter length sleeves which are gathered at the shoulder and the cuff to create an understated fairytale puff. The wide cuffs are embellished with satin rosettes to complement those on the dress, and the seams are fluted in matching yellow ribbon. This piece has a collarless round neck and falls into a central button stand which curves at the hem and hosts 4 x yellow lucite buttons. Tailoring below the bust brings the jacket neatly in at the waist when fastened, and a pretty peplum flares out over the hips. The peplum detail becomes more exaggerated at the reverse, where it is gathered into pleats to mirror the skirt. In pristine vintage condition, this charming set would best suit a US size 4, UK size 8 or smaller. Unlabelled couture...
