STUNNING 1950s two piece western style red patio set! I love sets. Wear this together, or wear each piece separately, you get more bang for your buck!!
The top: killer lace and silver ric rac dagger style collar with the lace and ric rac heavily repeated in a “V” pattern at the top front and back, also at the cuffs. There’s farts at the front and back. Batwing 3/4 sleeves. Side zipper. Unfinished hem.
The skirt: Wow. Just, WOW. The real showstopper of this set in my opinion, is the skirt. It is a little heavy! The same lace as the shirt collar makes up part of the band. The tiered skirt has micro pleats, and is also heavily embroidered with the lace and ric rac. I would definitely recommend a crinoline to accentuate the fullness and sweep.
NOTE: this set came with a STUNNING pair of rhinestone and leather earrings, so as a bonus I am selling them with the set.
Material: the set is made from a textured lightweight cotton.

Tag: Desert Flower originals, Albuquerque New Mexico

Condition: excellent minus.

Top: the top has one tiny mark on the collar, and a very small seam pop on the right underarm. The zipper has been replaced.

Skirt: the band is a tad dingy, and on the inside of the band, there’s some black marks. They obviously don’t show when worn, but worth mentioning. There’s what appears to be a few small rust marks on the back of the skirt. This hides well in the folds. See photos for details.
