A breathtaking silhouette rendered in a stunning black crepe silk with elaborate trailing black bugle glass beadwork, this 1940's tailored skirt set is the perfect statement piece to your vintage wardrobe.

Her full length sleeves are edged with matching turned up cuffs. Her fitted bodice, is set off my mock small covered button fastenings, that conceal the metal zip fastening beneath. The cinched in waistline is accented by a peplum cut hemline, that sets off the iconic 1940's tailored silhouette. The matching fully beaded skirt, boasts a simple waistband, and a straight cut. This set is not lined.
