This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Dallas, TX.
This cheerful bright blue suit, fabricated from fine, double-faced wool, is from master tailor, Pauline Trigere. Designed by Trigere in the 1980s, the suit has clean lines that give it a modernist vibe. The jacket has a single closure at the waist, a peplum style in the back, and shoulder pads. The cuffs can be worn down, as pictured, or turned up. The skirt has been professionally altered to make it a bit larger, especially in the waist (these alterations can be reversed if needed). No size labels, but our sizing charts indicate that it is a size 14. Please refer to the measurements for additional guidance regarding size.
Note: Trigère was a master cutter. Her garments were known for sophisticated and structured tailoring, and the best of these were her coats and suits made from fine wools. To see Trigère’s work in action, watch the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Trigère dresses the character played by Patricia Neal.
