40s Tailored Silk Suit with Nipped Waist$285.00
MEASUREMENTS BELOW DESCRIPTION. PLEASE REVIEW THE LISTING PRIOR TO PURCHASE.
OMG! This suit is stunning. Amazing condition. Fabric is solid with no signs of fabric rot anywhere. It is a raw silk with blue speckles throughout the gray base color. Textured. I rate this a 9/20 only because of the light marks mentioned below.
Skirt has original metal side zipper which is working at this time.
I see no pit stains but did notice a few very faint yellow marks here and there and on inside of sleeve hem there is yellowing.
I have had other suits like this in this fabric and a good soak in some oxy-clean or vinegar and water than if you can let dry in sun will usually get the majority of age yellowing out.
It is a Glenhaven Ltd and very well made. No size but with the shoulder and bust at least a contemporary Med
All measurements are taken flat back. Bust ( pit to pit), Waist and hips are to be doubled.
