About the Item

Rendered in the most timeless shade of navy blue rayon, and set off by cream and navy blue polkadot silk accents, this original vintage 1940's set, comprised of a silk skirt and jacket, is the perfect ensemble for your tailored wardrobe. The neckline of the jacket is framed by a navy blue and cream silk Peter Pan collar. The elegant shoulder line, is accented by internal shoulder pads, which set off the 3/4 length sleeves, edged with polkadot silk turned up cuffs. The fitted cut, is set off by the central double breasted feature, which is accented by large pearlescent buttons and tailored Princess seams, which frame the buttons along each side. The longline of the jacket, draws the eye to the cinched in waistline, as it sits perfectly above the matching skirt. The matching skirt, sits perfectly beneath the jacket and is accented by a fitted waistband. The fitted panel along the hipline, is accented by box pleats, which drape along the length of the skirt, completing this set in an iconic and timeless silhouette.
