About the Item

Although it bears no label, this suit betrays all the hallmarks of a Schiaparelli master work: saturated color, silk velvet fabric (her favorite), sharp shoulders paired with curving lapels, and most importantly, artisanal beading. Clearly inspired by Schiaparelli's designs, its shape and motif are strikingly similar to her 1938 Zodiac collection, a single piece of which recently sold for over £130,000. Dramatically sculpted peplum jacket with multiple princess seams front and back; scalloped lapel and velvet-covered button closure. Heavily padded shoulders with ornately beaded vines from shoulder to bust; unlined but backed with heavy silk faille for extra body around peplum. Pencil skirt with side metal zipper closure, top hook and eye and rear kick pleat; unlined. fabric: silk velvet, silk faille noteworthy: dry clean only alterations: reinforced all seams and darts condition: very good with minor luster loss to some pearl bead clusters and gentle wear at skirt waistband measurements: •jacket• shoulders: 16” bust: 36” sleeve: 23 ½” from shoulder (including ½” shoulder pad), 16 ½” from underarm sleeve circumference: 13” at underarm, 8 ½” at wrist waist: 29” length: 23” from shoulder (including ½” shoulder pad), 15 ½” from underarm sweep: 40” •skirt• waist: 26” hips: 40” length: 28”, including 1” plain waistband kick pleat: 2” opening sweep: 38” (pleat closed) hem: 3” label: no label present size: no size tag present; comparable to modern size small

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. Left zipper closure; lined in brown silk to match jacket. fabric: silk satin noteworthy: dry clean only condition: excellent with original tags unattached repairs: none measurements •jacket• shoulders: 14” sleeve length: 19” from shoulder, 13” from underarm sleeve circumference: 13” bust: to 38” length: 16” from shoulder, 17” from rear neck (not including 2” ruffle around neck), 8 ½” from underarm sweep: 34” •skirt• waist: 25 ½” hips: 35” length: 23 ¼”including 1 ½” plain waistband sweep: 33” with side slit closed, 36” open hem: 1” side slit: 4 ½” label: Milly of New York...
