1940s Silk Two Piece Ensemble

1940s Silk Two Piece Ensemble
This is an amazing piece that would have been so ahead of its time when it was originally made. It is made up of two pieces; an A-line skirt and a fantastic one-shoulder top with an insane pink ruffled bottom. it came with a removable pink sash that we've wrapped and secured around the waist. The body of the ensemble is silk taffeta - the kind with the really obvious moire pattern in it and the pink bits are a non-patterned silk taffeta. It is an absolutely incredible piece and you will treasure it as an absolute one of a kind.

Bust: 16" flat across the back from side seam to side seam
Top length: 14" to waist seam + 8" ruffled hem
Skirt Waist: 13" flat across the back from side seam to side seam
Skirt Hips: free
Skirt length: 30" from wasit to bottom hem

Both the top and bottom are unlined and close with a series of snaps original to the piece - I have pictured how it all closes here. The tie has a few scattered spots - they look like old pin marks. The pink is a much truer pink than what the photos show. It should be dry cleaned when cleaned again in the future.

Modern Sizing equivalent: SML (6-8)
