This truly beautiful 1960s soft velvet skirt suit in deep indigo is by British designer Paul Jonas London and is of superb quality with skilful construction. The jacket features ¾ length sleeves, attractive gathering detail around the bust and fastens at the centre front with four covered buttons in the matching velvet. There is a subtle modesty panel that fastens with concealed popper closures on the interior. The knee length skirt has a black gross grain ribbon waistband, is fully lined and fastens at the side with a zip. Both pieces are in excellent vintage condition and fully lined in aubergine toned fabric. This opulent set has a classic sophistication and could be worn together or as separates with pleasing effect. Would best suit a US size 8-10.
