Be ready for any dressy event when you are the first to wear this New With Tag vintage Lafayette 2-piece cream floral lace bustier-style bodice dress and coordinating long sleeve blazer. Both pieces still have their original paper hang tags attached and both are marked as US women's size 6. The original retail price of the blazer is $598 and the price shown for the dress is $498 for a combined retail value of $1, 096.

Wearing it you will look and feel like a million dollars and have gotten quite a bargain too. The ivory color exterior lace is completely lined in a beige nude color soft silk lining. For these photos it is worn with a vintage Priscilla of Boston white headpiece which is available in another of my listings.

Please use the measurements below to determine if these will fit you and do not rely on the listed size because sizing has changed over the years.

For the blazer:
Shoulder to shoulder ~~~ 15 and 1/2 inches
Bust ~~~ 37 inches
Arm hole opening ~~~ 18 and 1/2 inches
Sleeve length ~~~ 24 and 1/2 inches
Full length ~~~ 24 inches

For the dress:
Bust ~~~ 36 and 1/2 inches
Top length to waist ~~~ 16 and 1/2 inches
Waist ~~~ 29 inches
Hip ~~~ 42 and 1/2 inches
Skirt length ~~~ 40 and 3/4 inches
Full length of dress ~~~ 24 and 1/4 inches

As you can see in the photos, the dress has a built-in bra that is slightly padded as part of the bustier structure.

These spaghetti straps are a bit wider (at 3/4 inch) than the usual thin spaghetti style.

In the back there is a zipper and top hook and eye.

In the front of the dress is a large decorative satin bow and the waist is defined with the same satin in the front and back.

The skirt style is slim, with a figure-forgiving pleat front detail.

Edges of the blazer and the hemline feature a narrow sheer ruffle accent. There are two hidden hook and eye closures for the jacket.

For maximum versatility, the jacket may be worn open or closed. Of course, the look is entirely different with each option.

* Worn closed, this looks like a demure ladylike outfit.

* When the jacket is worn open, this is a very sexy look.

* Without the jacket on, it is even more va-va-voom.

With these options you can change how you look with your mood.
