Calling all Mad Men office gals! This slick 1950s pencil dress suit is the epitome of vintage workwear chic. Skilfully homemade, the set includes a sleeveless, scoop backed, boat-neck pencil dress and a sweet cropped jacket with a feature button. The dress is expertly tailored for a flattering fit and fastens with a metal side zip. The short jacket has a wide collar, half sleeves, and a unique crossover panel hem, secured with a faux mother-of-pearl button. Both pieces are unlined and made from a lightweight, ribbed textured fabric that feels breathable and perfect for all-day wear.
Condition: Very Good. Both pieces are in very good condition for their age. There is some very minor, likely moth damage on the right-hand side of the jacket lapel, but aside from that, the set wears beautifully.

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.
