Cut in a soft off-white linen, the jacket has that sharp, sculpted shoulder line so typical of the era, tapering into a neatly nipped waist. The collar’s the real standout — a wide, piped lapel that curves back on itself, finished with a matching button tab tucked into the seam. Four covered buttons run down the front, and there’s a second, smaller button detail at the hip, the kind of touch that tells you someone was thinking about proportion, not just function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe skirt keeps things simple by comparison — a clean A-line in the same linen, falling to a flattering mid-calf length.
