Its lavish use of honey-gold corduroy dates this suit to late 1940's, after the relaxation of fabric restrictions imposed during WWII. The belted jacket has an unusual, curvy and pointed collar. It closes with a single covered button at the neck, and a single snap hidden under the wide, D-ring belt. The wide sleeves have deep cuffs. While the front of the jacket bodice is flat, with simple straight seams from the shoulder to the waist, the sides and back of the jacket have a more full shape, with inverted pleats adding volume. The long and full peplum has pockets hidden in its side pleats, and reaches to about mid-thigh. The skirt has a wide waistband. Below the waist, each side of the skirt has a series of pleats to add fullness, while the front and back are unpleated. The wide belt manages to balance out the volume of the pleated jacket and the pleated skirt quite well. Bust: 34-36" Waist: 28" Hip: free Sleeve length: 22"
