1960s Pleated Skirt and Blouson Top

When it comes to vintage at the office, there is a big difference between decorous and dowdy.  Sure, some offices allow for all the fashion creativity you care to bring on - others are more conservative and you know there's a line you can't cross without setting some eyeballs to rolling.  This cute little outfit by Lady Manhattan is very ladylike and appropriate enough for just about any place. The fabric is a lightweight Dacron polyester crepe in stripes of apple green, periwinkle, yellow and cornflower blue. The simple blouson top has a drawstring at the waist, three-quarter length sleeves, a simple rounded jewel neckline and a zipper in back. The neckline and the sleeve cuff are bound finished.  The skirt is full and box pleated with a side zip closure. Both pieces are in excellent condition.  Top measures: Bust 40", waist 40", shoulder 15.5"; sleeve 11"; length 19", Skirt measures waist 28", length 26".  $70
