This has got to be the most gorgeous 1940 suit ever! Beautiful deep eggplant purple gabardine suit with matching deep purple buttons embellished with rhinestones. Jacket has side flap pockets with a nice pointed collar. Beautifully preserved and like new. Great color for the upcoming season.
This suit is so close to dead stock. Hardly worn. Absolutely gorgeous. Suit jacket has shoulder pads and is lined. Skirt is not. Please go by the measurements for that perfect fit.
Condition: perfect to excellent. I went over this suit twice looking for holes and the only thing I found was a tiny tiny hole next to one of the cuffs. Other than that this suit is perfect.
