Fantastic black wool cropped jacket and full skirt, decorative with rayon cord soutache designs.
The jacket is cropped and has an open front, cuffed sleeves, thick shoulder pads. The jacket is covered in the rayon cord design. The amount of cord gives weight to the jacket. The jacket is lined in crepe. There is a bound button hole on the top of each cuff. It looks like it would have buttoned to a decorative button somewhere on the sleeves. But there are no longer buttons on the jacket.

The A-line skirt with fuller bottom is fitted over waist and hips. This area on the front and the back has cord design, metal side zipper, unlined.

CONDITION: The set is in very good to excellent condition. The rayon cord is missing from wear around one of the bound button holes on the cuffs. Obviously there was once a button on each sleeve where the cuffs buttoned to. The damage looks like it would have been from a button rubbing the cord. The wool under it is slightly worn too.
Otherwise the jacket is beautiful and there are no issues with the excellent condition skirt.
