1940s Pumpkin Orange Check Skirt Suit – Tailored Hourglass Silhouette
1940s Pumpkin Orange Check Skirt Suit – Tailored Hourglass Silhouette
An exceptional original 1940s skirt suit in a rich pumpkin orange and chocolate micro-check. This is classic post-war tailoring at its finest — strong padded shoulders, a sharply defined waist, and beautiful seam work that sculpts the body into that coveted hourglass silhouette. A true investment piece for collectors of authentic 1940s fashion and lovers of precision tailoring.
The warm autumnal check gives depth and character, while the structured jacket and elegant straight skirt create a powerful, feminine line that feels just as relevant today.
