About the Item

Though its Girl Friday silhouette may fool you, this suit serves sexiness in spades thanks to its almost colorless silver hue and daring open weave. An exercise in contradictions, the garment both fully conceals and fully reveals the body unless a slip—which is included—is worn beneath. Open ribbon crochet skirt suit with peplum jacket and trumpet skirt. Jacket features front and back princess seams, bracelet sleeves and notched collar and cuffs; ornamental pocket flaps at hipbones. 7 button front closure with self woven buttons and top snap. Matching below-knee skirt with plain waistband and slight flare; left metal zipper closure with top hook and eye. Both pieces unlined.
