Tachi Castillo 1950s vintage Crochet Cotton FULL CIRCLE SKIRT & MATCHING TOP

Absolutely gorgeous late 1940s / early 1950s vintage two piece set - a tailored sleeveless top and a  full circle skirt made by the fabulous Tachi Castillo label of an ivory white crocheted cotton lace sprinkled with iridescent sequins around the hem of the skirt.  The top features narrow straps, a straight bustline, fitted waist with a small peplum and an adjustable rear hook closure.  When I first looked at the back, I thought the eyes for the hooks were missing but there are two rows of ivory yarn eyes for the hooks that allow for better sizing.  The matching skirt features a fitted waist with a side metal zipper opening and a twirly, full circle cut with a just below the knee length hem.  Both pieces are fully lined with a lightweight acetate blend fabric in ivory.  

MEASUREMENTS:    No size labels - Top (double measurements because of the adjustability of the back hook closure) - bust measures 34 - 36 inches (and therefore fits a size 32 - 34 bust best).  Waist measures 28 or 30 inches.  The top - measured from the underarm to the hem is 12.5 inches in length (there is extra length in the straps to be able to adjust the fit to the wearer).  Skirt - waist measures 29 inches and the skirt is 30 inches long. 

CONDITION:  Very slight wear  ... overall, excellent  condition.

GREAT NEWS!  Now FREE SHIPPING anywhere in CANADA - all with tracking.  Almost all International shipping  is available with tracking and the cost of International shipping is shared approximately 50/50 with me.  If you would like to combine items internationally for shipping, message me for a quote.  Expect shipping within Canada to take 7 - 10 days.  International shipping normally takes 7 - 24 days.  I reserve the right to combine shipping.  
Sadly, due to the tariff situation with the United States, I have suspended shipping and selling to the USA.  The massive increase in costs and complicated logistics no longer allow it to be feasible for me.  I apologize.  Hopefully, things will chnage for the better soon.  
Shipping is always discrete.  Buyers are responsible for any duty and/or customs fees that their country imposes.

All of my items are vintage and therefore will have some minimal signs of wear consistent with their age (example - a loose thread).  I describe my items as honestly and accurately as possible with both text and pictures - clearly noting any known larger imperfections (holes, stains, missing buttons, etc).  If I have missed something, I apologize - please let me know and I will do my best to fix the issue.  But please remember I am a human being.  My preloved items have been freshly laundered unless otherwise noted in the description.
Often, I buy lots of the same item (particularly lingerie items).  After I sell one, I will often list another .... the second item is NOT the first item you purchased.  There is more than one.
