Original 1940s 40s Vintage Pink Starched Cotton Skirt Suit By Duchess Royal
This pretty pink summer suit was made from a starched cotton in the 1940s. As you would expect from a garment of this decade, the suit has a classic hourglass silhouette created by combining padded shoulders with a shape defining nipped. A v-neckline is framed with a notched collar and points towards a single row of four buttons. Two functional bodice pockets are adorned with scalloped decorative flaps, while the bottom of the jacket has a number of decorative slits to the front and back. Inside, the jacket is lined in acetate and has a maker’s label for Duchess Royal.
