Vintage 1950s wiggle dress and matching short jacket in shimmering ivory, rose-pattern brocade. Sleeveless, scoop-neck dress has slightly raised, curved waist, vertical bodice darts, and pleating at hips. Metal TABIT back zip with top and waist hook&eyes and kick pleat. Jacket has elbow-length kimono-cut sleeves, seamed bodice, and a large mandarin collar with bow detail and hook&eye closure. Both pieces are fully lined. Sexy, yet refined. Would make a lovely wedding suit.
