1990s Gianni Versace Couture Yellow Baroque Skirt Suit
The blended jacquard fabric features a giant sun with face motif and the typical scrolling baroque design that is synonymous with Versace garments from this era. Comprising of a short-sleeved collarless jacket, very fitted with a deep scoop neck; it has ornamental front pockets and highly stylised gold Medusa head buttons filled with yellow enamel. The two largest buttons are on the patch pocket design. The mini skirt is a classic pencil style with a short kick pleat and fastens to the rear with an invisible zip. Both pieces feature black, gold and silver machine embroidered trim. Lined in a quality acetate with the Gianni Versace couture label.
Labelled an Italian 42, this equates roughly to around a size UK 10. Versace sizing runs smaller so this might be better suited to a UK size 8 or US 4, although the jacket is a little bigger. In fabulous vintage condition; gently worn and no issues with either piece.

F.A.Q.
Will you set anything aside for me before I come?
We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance.
We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.
We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.
You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.

Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
