Adele Simpson Vintage 1947/48 Black Double Breasted Cinched Waist Jacket & Skirt
About the Item
This is a documented, rare vintage 1940's Adele Simpson skirt and jacket is in a luxurious black wool. The flattering double breasted jacket has an exaggerated notched collar, shoulder pads for structure, and a cinched waist. The 8 front 7/8'' buttons are black wool capped with a glossy black ring surrounding the cap. The jacket has shoulder pads for structure and the sleeve cuffs fold over forming triangles that point towards the back of the jacket, creating a two extruding mirrored points on each sleeve.
We have documented the jacket from Fall/Winter 1947. We aren't sure if the unlabeled skirt is original to the suit but are including it because it came from the same estate and was worn with the jacket by the original owner.. The straight skirt is in a black wool crepe and it is defined with 2 pleats in front and 2 pleats in back. There is a zipper in the side seam with overlapping fabric and a hook and eye closure at the waist line. The skirt has a 9'' knife kick pleat centered at the bottom of the back of the skirt.
We acquired this many years ago from our all time favorite estate of vintage designer clothing. This woman lived in a rural area but was financially very privileged so she would find pieces she liked in magazines and then buy them straight from the designers or from a larger city shop. Most of her pieces were unworn and it was the finest wardrobe we have ever come across. Her collection spanned from the 1940's through the early 1980's.
This jacket was originally sold at Strauss in Grand Rapids. These 1940's Adele Simpson pieces are particularly rare to find and the jacket of this suit can be worn with many things you already own!
