1970s Printed Canvas Cotton Skirt Suit

A very unusual skirt suit with a delightful floral print. This charming set, very much giving 1930s summer suit vibes, was likely homemade in the early 70s. It feels like a canvas-style cotton, allowing it to keeps its shape. The jacket has a boxy cut with a double-breasted front, a wide lapel collar, and four bold red buttons that add a pop of colour. The sleeves are super cool, with ladder cut outs. The skirt features a classic A-line silhouette, closing with a metal side zipper and hook-and-eye fastenings. Both pieces are unlined, and very nicely cut and made.

Condition: Very good/good. The jacket is in excellent condition. The skirt does have some yellow staining that I haven not managed to remove with treatment annoyinly!. I have shown these in pics 9-11.  Luckily, the top one is covered by the jacket when worn. This has been factored into the price
