The lovely suit carries no makers label, but does have a manufacturers factory tag which is unreadable.  The suit is in a bronze faille or grosgrain fabric, the reverse side of which has a satin appearance and is used to good effect for contrast.

THE JACKET : fastens centre front with 3 gold-tone 1" buttons decorated with diamante.  There are shoulder pads, which can be removed.  The centre back of the peplum has a wide box pleat to give more fullness.  The fabric reverse has been used to create the large rounded lapels and the 3½" cuffs on the ¾-length sleeves.

THE SKIRT : fastens with a 7" metal zipper and hook/eye.  There is a 5" deep kick pleat at centre back, and the 2" hem is trimmed with braid.

Overall in Very Good condition, there are a number of pin-holes on the left lapel where a brooch or corsage has been attached.  Quite a sexy outfit, even for today's Mad Men fashionista!
