Size 4 Classic Suit - Smart 1950s Black Linen Suit - Timeless Open Front Jacket & Straight Skirt - Beautiful Basic - Waist 25 - 31657-1

The kind of suit you can always depend on! This timeless style is likely from the late 1950s (but possibly earlier), so classic it's a bit difficult to date. Open-front jacket has an easy straight silhouette with a notched lapel, princess seams and two hip patch pockets. The matching skirt has two decorative buttons (removable) at front waistband and pairs of pleats in classic tailoring. Both pieces fully lined.
