Who's Your Tailor?

Things get interesting when you reach back deep into the closet, past the bell-bottoms, to the 1930s, ’40s, ’50s.

Style sharpens, materials improve. The workmanship can take your breath away.

I found this suit while poking around there.

It’s too good to leave on the hanger. Wonderfully articulate… Collarless lines, trim shoulders, subtle curves everywhere. Those kick pleats.

All of that, plus the lithe lines, make it, well, not pert, exactly; grown-up sexy is more like it.

1950s Tweed Skirt (No. 6827) features two kick pleats at front. Substantial Lurex tweed in a cotton/poly blend. Poly crepe de chine lining. Contrast back seams. Knee length. Imported.
