Original 1950s 50s Vintage Grey Self Striped Suit By Adele Simpson
This beautiful skirt suit was made in the 1950s from a grey wool with a light self striped pattern. The jacket is cut in a double breasted style with six textured glass buttons. A softer shoulder and slight nip to the waist create a typical silhouette for the decade. The jacket also features a notched collar and diagonal slit bust pockets suitable for a pocket square. Inside, the jacket is lined in slate blue silk and has a maker’s labels for Adele Simpson and a retailers label for Edgar A Stevens. The matching skirt is also lined in silk, has a rear vent and a metal side zipper with a hook fastening.
