On the jacket it is more of a abstract grid and the skirt is an abstract oversized feeling 'dot' print.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe jacket is a classic cut of his from this time period. It features a wider set neckline that curves down into a V at the front. The shoulders are rounded and the sleeves cut in a more straight manner. It is meant to feel more slightly more oversized through the upper bodice. The waist is shaped to be cinched in and then the hips flare out from there. This cut gives you a fantastic hourglass feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe front closes with a zipper in a matching colour and then over that are three gold toned metal \u003cem\u003e\"frog knots\" \u003c\/em\u003ethat hook to close beneath their bejewelled centres. These add a spectacular bit of whimsy and elegance to the suit and make it thoroughly Lacroix.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt has a band at the waist and then it is cut to just above or at the knee depending on your height. Pockets sit on each hip and the pockets add a little bit of shape around the upper hip. From there it flares out to the hem in the perfect little A-line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI love the contrast between the two quilting pattern\/prints. Lacroix was a master at combining prints and textures. This suit leaves no doubt about his talent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe jacket and skirt are both fully lined in a red silk. The jacket zips to close and then the gold metal frog knots hook to close over that. The skirt closes at the side with a zipper and hooks at the waist. The shoulders have light padding. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth pieces are tagged a vintage Lacroix 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eJacket\u003cbr\u003eSleeves: 25\"\u003cbr\u003eShoulders: no true seems\u003cbr\u003eBust: to 18\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 13\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: to 19\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 26\" from top of shoulder to hem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSkirt\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 13\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: to 19\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 24\" from waist to hem\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: SML-MED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
