Stunning hot pink dress suit by Baron Peters from the famous Woolf Brothers, once one of the largest and most revered luxury goods department stores in the Midwest. Princess cut style dress with mandarin/bow tie combo collar & set-in short sleeves and 21" center back zipper.
The matching jacket is in a long box style but with princess seams it tapers in a bit for a more flattering fit. It has notched lapels as well as twin vent notches cut out at the hemline for added ease of wear while seated. The highlight of the jacket are it's gorgeous 3/4" crystal and brass buttons! Four button into paired off bound button holes and the other two adorn each cuff. This is a divine suit and a wonderful example of the fine craftsmanship found in suits from a glorious decade in fashion for women the world over and particularly so in the United States thanks to the wonderful eye Mrs. Kennedy had for clothing and style.
