A delightful vintage 1930s 2-piece summer suit, home made from a slightly slubby homespun style linen or perhaps linen/rayon fabric in a variegated natural beige colour with a woven pattern of broken wiggly vertical stripes in red, green & blue. The jacket has a large rounded collar, short raglan sleeves with vents, side panels with inset pockets on the bodice front & waist seam with pleats above on the back; the front fastens with 6  black/brown chunky, faceted early plastic buttons in bound buttonholes with a popper at the top. The skirt is a slim, straight style with 2 pleats at the front & a plain back; it fastens at the side with poppers & a hook & eye.
NB. The belt in the photos is NOT included & is not for sale.

Condition:
In good condition overall -  on the jacket there are some scattered brown storage foxing marks, most noticeably to the lower left front, the lower back, & the right cuff; however, there are also some inconsistencies in the weave which look rather like brownish marks - the buttons have degraded somewhat & some have some discolouration, nibbles & edge chips - on the skirt there are a few scattered faint brown spots - slight seam strain/pulling at the bottom of the placket. On looking inside it would appear that some size alteration or restoration has been undertaken at some point, as the side seams & underarm sleeve seams of the jacket have been overlocked, as has one side seam & the hem of the skirt; the overlocking appears to be with cotton thread & may have been done to control edge fraying, as the remaining whip-stitched seams are slightly frayed.

I have a no returns policy - please check the above measurements and compare to a similar garment of your own before buying - no refund offered for items that don’t fit.
