1940s Navy Bengaline Suit with Crystal Buttons

classic 50's looks do not have to make you look like a Rockabilly convention poster girl. No Sailor Jerry tattooed 'sleeves' and piercings through parts of the face that were not meant to have contact with a needle unless you're from Borneo. No, 50's suits are totally figure-flattering, with their flared silhouettes and longer jacket. A heavy navy rayon crepe "dinner suit" with a long skirt and tiny little rhinestone buttons on the jacket pockets. Gorgeous with a pink silk charmeuse blouse and Reppetto tango shoes - everything about it is polished and easy. Bearing only a Famous-Barr label, it is lined in navy silk crepe. Bust measures 38", shoulder to shoulder 16", outer sleeve 24" and length 24.5". Skirt has a 26" waist 38" hips and is 28" long. Both are in excellent condition. $290.00
