A 1940s floral crepe skirt suit with a little spring in its step. Pink-and-white
blossoms scatter across a pale aqua ground, picked up by the jacket’s pink buttons.
A collarless neckline and long sleeves keep the shape simple, with a defined waist
and a gently flared jacket hem. The matching skirt falls below the knee on the model
shown; the length on you will depend on your measurements.

There is a lovely balance between the small, scattered print and the shaped jacket.
The flowers soften the tailoring without hiding it, and the matching buttons make
the pink feel considered rather than added on. Worn as a set, the two pieces give
you a complete outfit with very little fuss. Separated, they are much less formal
than the word “suit” might suggest.

### Styling

**Two pieces, several possibilities**

Our styling picks up the pink with a hat and heels, then adds a small blue bag for
contrast. You could keep just one of those accents: a pink shoe with a simple bag,
or a bright blue clutch with a neutral sandal. Browse our [bags](https://shopquirkla.com/product-category/bags/)
for a finishing touch that does not need to match exactly.

Give the jacket a second life over straight-leg jeans and a white tank, leaving 
it open or fastening it to show the waist. The skirt works with a fitted ivory knit
and loafers, or a tucked-in T-shirt and flat sandals. Mixing in an everyday piece
keeps the flowers from feeling too precious. There is no need to make every piece
in the outfit vintage.

### Fit & sizing

Modern size: 2/4.

The jacket and skirt are sold together. Measurements are available as needed to 
confirm the fit of both pieces, including the jacket’s shoulders and bust and the
skirt’s waist. Email us before ordering and we’ll help you compare.

The hat, handbag and shoes are not included.

### Condition

Very good vintage condition. There are small brownish marks on the fabric and loose
threads around the buttonholes, visible in the detail photograph. We’re happy to
send closer views or answer condition questions before you order.
