Iconic Original 1950s 50s Vintage Lilli Ann Cream And Black Wool Suit With Amazing Peplum
This stunning suit was made from the softest high quality cream wool with black flecks in the 1950s. Like many Lilli Ann designs, its styling is more reminiscent of the 1940s silhouette with padded shoulders and a nipped waist. The large sharp collar leads to a single row of nine beautiful fabric covered buttons. The suit features the stunning tailoring that Lilli Ann are famous for with beautiful princess seaming at the back and a stunning padded peplum at the waist. Inside, the blazer is lined in luxurious black crepe and bears the retailer’s label for Mack Friedman of New York. Inside there is a Lilli Ann Fabric of France label as well as the National Recovery Board tag. The matching skirt is half lined at the back in matching crepe and fastens with a metal side zipper and a button closure above.
This suit is as iconically Lilli Ann as possible, both in terms of material and design. That peplum is what dreams are made of! You can just picture Dorian Leigh walking of the set in this beauty!
