Late 70s Plaid Knit Suit Set 5 Piece Skirt and Pants Vintage Academic$350.00
This is a 70s dream set in brown plaid acrylic wool. The 5 piece set includes a jacket, sweater, trousers, skirt, and belt.
The jacket is long-sleeved with the front decorated with added strips that run down from the yoke to the hem at the front on both sides, with a section left open for the belt to run through. The jacket has a small collar and faux leather buttons that run down the front to close the jacket. The belt overlaps in the front of the jacket and is secured with two buttons. The jacket falls to the hips and has a split in the back so that it can flare out and sit over the hips. The jacket is fully lined in brown acetate that is printed with little crests.
The skirt is so cute! It is made of the same plaid acrylic and is a pleated skater skirt that should fall to or above the knees. It has a side zipper with a button at the top for closure.
The pants, again, are made of the plaid acrylic and are a great trouser pant with a straight leg. The pants are too small for my mannequin so they are displayed backward just so you can get a picture of the whole look. The pants have a metal zip in the font and there is a button at the waistband.
The sweater is the only item in this set that is not plaid. It is made of a really soft cream acrylic knit. It has a turtleneck that has a zipper in the back to get it over your head. The sweater is long-sleeved with cuffed edges. The sweater falls to the hips and has a more fitted waistband at the edge.
The set is overall in wonderful condition with there only being a little discoloration in the underarms of the jacket lining (only) and one small hole in the lining. The set has been professionally hand laundered and is ready to rock this fall.
Label:
While the labels between this set are different, they are all made out of the same acrylic wool plaid and were meant to be together. The sweater is made by Pandora, the pants label is Snazzi, a division of Pandora. The jacket and skirt are both labeled Modern Juniors.
