FIT & STYLING GUIDE FOR MODERN BUYERS
• How It Drapes: This beautiful 1950s silhouette is designed to highlight a classic hourglass shape. The jacket has a relaxed, slightly structured crop that ends right at the waistline, while the sleeves are a chic 3/4 length meant to leave room to showcase a fabulous watch, vintage bracelets, or evening gloves. • The Skirt: The pencil skirt sits high at the true natural waist (above the belly button) and hugs the hips smoothly. • Sizing Advice: To ensure a perfect fit, please compare these flat dimensions to a non-stretch button-down shirt and a high-waisted denim skirt or dress pants from your own wardrobe! It is recommended that your personal body measurements be at least 0.5" to 1" smaller than the garment numbers for a comfortable, breathable fit. Shipping & Handling: Ships securely packaged to preserve the structural shape of the silk and the integrity of the real fur. Please ask any questions prior to bidding/purchase!
