Exceptionally chic 1940s suit a la Jacques Fath! This WWII era ladies' suit is navy blue wool with beautiful metal buttons, a ruched front torso, and oversized pannier pockets that extend peplum-like around the hip. The collar is convertible, with wing points to the back that can be worn up or down. It's unlined and the skirt is a lean calf length A-line.
