From Catseye Vintage is this wonderful brown textured snubbed rayon linen blend jacket and skirt suit ~ circa late 50s or early 60s.
The fabric is fabulous ~ it's probably a rayon and linen blend in a wonderful and versatile shade of sienna brown which is very textural as pictured.
The color is a rich sienna brown best shown in closeup pictures number one and number four.
Boxy jacket with no fasteners ~ made to be worn open ~ the jacket is accented with a large (8-1/2" Tall x 4" Wide" novelty print cotton bow as pictured. Both sides of the front and the top half of the back are lined with the same novelty print cotton fabric.
Bracelet length sleeves with 2-1/2" folded up cuffs.
Six panel construction a-line skirt for a perfect fit through the hips. Zips up the right side with a 6-1/2" metal zipper.
The skirt is not lined.
There are no labels of any kind ~ however, I believe this is a commercially made suit.
These suits were very popular and similar suits were worn by glamorous actresses and other well-dressed women of the era.
There are no size tags ~ I'd say this lovely suit would best fit a modern size medium, but please go by the measurements below, leaving room for comfort and fit.
