1980s Multicoloured Harlequin Print Silk Jumpsuit with Pockets

This lively jumpsuit was designed by Parisian label Apostrophe in the late 1980s. Tailored from smooth black silk, it is patterned with diamond shapes in cobalt blue, fuchsia, yellow and teal to form a playful harlequin print. The spaghetti strap cami-top is cut to a relaxed fit and gives way to a smocked waistband lined with elastic which gives a voluminous, blouson effect to the top. The straps are formed of coordinating fabric. The tapered trousers are tailored with a loose hip and tighter ankle - perfect for hitting the dancefloor. They have two patch pockets at the front of the hips. The jumpsuit is secured under the left arm with a small fabric-covered button and fabric loop and is unlined.

In excellent vintage condition with no issues of any note. It is labelled a French size 38 but runs smaller than today's sizing so please check our measurements below. We think it better suited to a UK size 8, US size 4.
