Gorgeous black and white (accented with red) wool tweed skirt suit. Circa late 1950s to early 1960s.

The jacket features front vertical darts and diagonal bust darts for a flattering fit.

Does up the center front with three 1-1/4" diameter self covered domed buttons with bound buttonholes (a sign of a quality suit).

Bracelet length sleeves with turn back cuffs accented with a single non-functional self covered button and red satin backing (to the cuffs).

Notched collar and decorative non-functional front pocket flaps with red satin backing.

The jacket and sleeves are lined with luxurious red satin as pictured.

Matching pencil skirt features a 1" wide self fabric waistband. Fastens with a left side 7" metal zipper and two metal hooks and bars. There is also a non-functional decorative self covered button on the waistband.

Lined with the same red satin as the jacket.

The skirt comes to my upper calf - it may be shorter or longer on you depending on your height.
