1960s Butte Knit Wool Knit Dress and Jacket

So, you think pink isn't ladylike?  Then you must have missed Kate Moss in Dior's suit version of this in the August issue of Vogue. The shade of this dress and jacket is a vivid cerise - close to Schiaparelli's shocking pink (our favorite color), and a great juxtaposition for the simple, elegant cut of this wool knit dress from Butte Knit. A straight short-sleeved sheath and single breasted jacket trimmed in a silk satin of the same shade. The hip length jacket has bracelet length sleeves, faux welt pockets at each hip, and satin covered buttons. Dress measurements: Bust 38", Waist 36", Hip 38", Shoulder 15", Sleeve 9", Length 39".  Jacket measures Bust 40", Hip 38", Shoulder 17", Sleeve 17", Length 22", the knit has a bit of give to it. There is a tiny flaw, located not quite under the right lapel, otherwise both pieces are in excellent condition. $145
