Vintage Cream + Camel Check Wiggle Dress + Jacket

Details

This is a nicely constructed and unique dress and jacket suit in very good vintage condition. There are some minor issues but it is wearable and timeless. And, it has, POCKETS! Please refer to the measurement sketch for sizing, it appears to be an extra small.

The dress has spaghetti straps with a set-in waist and back zipper entry. It is fully lined with a taffeta-like, slippery fabric. It also has a modest back kick pleat.

The jacket is spectacular. It has the same well-made construction as the dress. It is also fully lined. The cut is slightly shorter in front than the back. There is a false button front with solid matching fabric, covered dome buttons. The back which actually DOES button has large matching check covered fabric buttons. The sleeves are elbow length.

The fabric content is not noted anywhere, but my guess is that it is 100% wool. It is a slightly loose weave with a soft feel. It is definitely a 3 season outfit.

The colors are a warm natural cream and a medium camel color that tends to a greenish tinge rather than yellow. It is lined in cream.

CONDITION NOTES:
There are three small holes that should be stabilized on the skirt and a series of small holes from a possible rehemming. The jacket has a small hole on the back near the collar. There is a stain INSIDE the bodice (a canape gone rougue?) that does not go through to the exterior. The strap on the left front should be stitched as it is loose. All in all in good vintage condition. But please note, vintage clothes are a risk, I have done my best to note all issues.

Note on vintage and antique goods: There is no guarantee that these will wear as originally intended, it is the risk we take to enjoy unique pieces.
