$ 34.99
A fabulous 50s strapless suit in unfortunate condition, good only for display or pattern-copying due to flaws and fragility. The dress has a boned strapless bodice with an asymmetric lapel and pert fitted line, very Marilyn. Matching jacket has a Peter Pan collar, cuffed short sleeves, and a nipped waist at the peplum. Has its original skinny belt with self buckle, bound buttonholes to the jacket, and a fresh look ready to be reprized.
