I absolutely adore this beautiful skirt suit! Dating from the 1940s, it’s made by Neuville Garment and crafted from a structured woven blend, lined with satin for a luxurious feel. This piece is perfect for a gal-about-town look, paired with great heels and seamed stockings.

The suit jacket features a V-neckline, framed by a notched collar and oversized lapels. The shoulders and strong and padded, and the waist is beautifully nipped and secured with a double-button closure, with two pockets adorned with charming arrow embroidery details. The skirt is long, figure-hugging, and cut to perfection, offering a vampy, seductive silhouette.

Condition: Excellent. In really great condition for it's age.

Sizing Guide

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:

XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus

Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
