Description

This two-piece silk brocade cocktail dress ensemble was handmade by my mother in the late 1950s early 1960s. She was an accomplished seamstress who shopped for fabric all over Europe and North Africa. I am selling a number of her (mostly) handmade clothing from this era, so please see my other listings if classic styles from this era are your thing! Please see the view for many details about this ensemble. Here are measurements of the jacket and dress, which I estimate to be about a US ladies size 8. Jacket: Nape to hem - 19: Shoulder to shoulder - 15" Sleeve - 18" Bust at underarms - 37" Circumference at hem - 40" Dress: Shoulder to hem - 40" Bust at underarms - 35" Waist - 28" Waist to hem - 23.5" Hem depth - 2.5" Circumference at hem - 44"
