1950s Vibrant Red Slub Silk Suit with Mother of Pearl Buttons
Va va voom! This 1950s skirt suit is pure vintage glamour. Crafted from vibrant coral slub silk, it’s unlabelled aside from original sizing tags, but the exceptional craftsmanship speaks volumes.
The fitted, lightweight jacket boasts a nipped-in waist, softly padded shoulders, hidden hook-and-eye closures, a wide collar, and lustrous mother-of-pearl buttons. The matching pencil skirt is sleek and chic, complete with the ultimate luxury—pockets! Both pieces are unlined
Condition: Very good. Both pieces are in lovely condition, aside from some small mends at the back of the left shoulder.

Sizing Guide
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.
