About the Item

This is a bespoke dress and swing jacket pairing that was made for a wealthy client in the 1990s. Iridescent pale purple silk throws subtle hints of pink as it catches the light. Appliquéd orange marigolds, lilacs and vibrant green foliage are attached with such delicacy that it appears that the vines are climbing up the lapels of the coat and across the collar. These pretty florals also appear on the cuffs and vent pockets. The matching short-sleeve dress has playful, flouncy pleats at the skirt and is festooned with coordinating botanical detailing. It is fully lined and fastens with a zip at the back of the neck. The jacket is secured with hidden buttons down the front. This vivacious silk jacket and skirt pairing is in excellent vintage condition with no issues and was probably worn just once. Unlabelled but couture quality, this ensemble will fit up to a UK 10 or US 6 although the coat has a more generous cut and could fit a bigger size. Selling together but there is obvious appeal to wearing the items separately. MEASUREMENTS JACKET Bust - 4 in. (106.68 cm) Waist - 42 in. (106.68 cm) Hip - 46 in. (116.84 cm) Length - 36 in.

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...
