With its gold, purple and petrol roses this suit is the ideal complement to Fall’s changing leaves; better still, its puff sleeve jacket is a mirror image of Dior’s 2023 Fitted Jacket with Puff Sleeves.

Jacket features front frog closures, Mandarin collar and tulle-lined shoulders for extra stiffness. 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.
