1970s Painterly Two Piece Silk Set
Stunning 1970s silk two piece set in a striking painterly foulard motif with tulips and butterflies. Rich turquoise borderlines, brightest red blossoms. The skirt features a skinny elasticized waistband and slightly a-line silhouette. Top features bateau neckline, cap sleeves, boxy silhouette. One of our recent favorite finds…
label: Not marked, but appears to be similar to some of the in-house designed Saks Fifth Avenue silk ensembles that we’ve had in the past
measurements:
estimated modern size: M
top length: 24”
shoulder: 15
bust: 39”
skirt length: 30”
waist: 30”
hip: 42”
materials: Not marked but is definitely 100% silk
condition: Very good vintage condition: The white butterfly appears to have some dye bleed but it looks intentional with the painterly aesthetic of the rest of the motif. The elastic is somewhat stretched out in the waist of the skirt and difficult to replace, but we like the idea of wearing this a bit more low slung on smaller sizes.
