Description

1960s | Magenta Raw Silk-Feel Skirt Suit | Size 0/2

Product Description: 

More Jackie O than Fran Fine, this mid-century magenta two-piece skirt suit exudes polished elegance. Composed of an unlabeled fabric with a raw silk-like texture, it carries an air of restrained luxury with subtle sheen and visible slub. The boxy, cropped jacket features a double-breasted front with self-covered buttons, three-quarter sleeves, and minimal shoulder shaping. Paired with a streamlined, high-waist pencil skirt, this is vintage tailoring at its most poised.

The interior is fully lined in acetate, with clean, crisp seams throughout. Despite the lack of maker label, the construction suggests a skilled hand and careful attention to proportion. Color leans more purple than pink in person — closer to a rich magenta than a bubblegum hue.

Details:

  • Era: 1960s
  • Label: No visible brand label
  • Fabric: Unknown blend, raw silk–like handfeel
  • Lining: Acetate (both pieces)
  • Color: Magenta (purple-leaning)
  • Closure: Jacket – covered buttons; Skirt – rear metal zip with hook/eye
  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No major flaws noted. Slight textural slubs consistent with fabric type.
  • Estimated Modern Size: 0/2
  • Fit Notes: Modeled on Tomi (5’9”, modern size 0/2). Garments are not clipped or pinned. Best for 24–26″ waist, 32–34″ bust.
  • Made in USA (likely), based on seamwork and materials

Styling Suggestions:

  • Perfect for museum openings or gallery receptions when paired with minimalist pumps
  • Try it split — layer the jacket over a vintage slip dress, or pair the skirt with a ribbed turtleneck and tall boots
  • Hair up, cat eye, glass of wine in hand

The BEST vintage shop in LA!! The minute you walk in you are greeted by the owner and stylist, which is rare for a vintage shop, if you ask me! Melynda is absolutely wonderful and provides excellent customer service! Since she's a professional stylist she's extremely knowledgeable about fashion and helps you coordinate outfits together.  She has a great assortment of women's and men's clothing, shoes and accessories. I try to visit the shop once every two weeks, you just can't beat the prices, it's cheaper than Wasteland!  If you are looking for one of a kind vintage pieces from the 1960's to now, Quirk is your place to shop! They carry  Theory, James Perse, APC, Prada, Burberry and many more! I highly recommend this vintage shop!!

5 stars for what they are doing for the community but not for my personal experience. They were listed on the wildfire Google sheet / website as one of the few places still accepting donations, so I brought all my unworn clothes over. The address on the website and online is not the correct one, so had to get back in my car and find new parking closer to the new location. Then I get inside and they said donations are by appointment only. 30 minute drive and a lot of parking hassle with nothing to show for it. Would be nice if they updated their donation status and location on the Google sheet. Annoying for me but glad they are helping those in need. The new location is in the photo.

Upon having dinner in DTLA a friend and I stumbled upon QUIRK, what a treasure of a vintage store. A hidden gem!!! An insider's secret.. but not for long. Loved Melynda's eye for well curated vintage clothing and accessories. Working as a stylist in Films and Editorial, Melynda is defintely on point.  Instantly we felt right at home in her inviting shop. From designer to hard to find vintage, its all there. What a happy find!!!

Looking for unique style with a personal touch? Look no further than Quirk. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a VIP. The owner, Melynda, is not just a salesperson; she's a magician with fashion. She effortlessly picked out pieces that perfectly suited my taste and body type, creating looks I never imagined possible. The selection of vintage clothing is unparalleled, each piece telling its own story. Whether you're a seasoned vintage lover or a newbie, [Owner's Name] will elevate your wardrobe to new heights. Thank you for the fabulous experience!

Great vintage shop in Downtown! With all the new vintage stores popping up around LA these days, Quirk really stands out with having unique, high quality items that are personally curated by the owner, Melynda, who is also a professional stylist and costume designer. Most vintage shops these days are just filled with XXL 80s/90s shirts, and overpriced jeans. Quirk has one-of-a-kind items that have made me a return customer. Most recent purchases were a 1970s YSL handbag and kimono jacket that always get me compliments when I wear them out.

I had such a wonderful time at Quirk. As someone who has never been to a fashion district and who has never been styled before,  I hadn't extraordinary time getting to know my own sense of fashion. Melynda was so dope and helpful. She helped style me and gave me a new fresh look. I ended up buying something off of the $20 rack so she has affordable options as well. Definitely coming back again for my next shopping trip!

I have joyfully followed Melynda and Quirk grow over the past year. Every time I get a little extra money I pop in to get a nice something-or-another for myself and leave with much more; life stories, fashion advice, and sometimes coffee. Each time I leave Quirk I look and feel a little smarter. Keep up the excellent work. -DC

I helped out the Free People's Boutique by Quirk by sorting racks and registering shoppers on a Saturday. It was a humbling experience. I was asked to pass on so much gratitude to Melynda and her team by every guest I had the pleasure to assist.

Quirk is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel like you've inherited the wardrobe of a rich, eccentric aunt who traveled the world and kept all the best pieces. Every rack feels intentional, lived in, and full of personality. Nothing feels random. Each item has a story, and you can sense it the moment you start browsing.

The bag selection alone is worth the stop. There are so many standout pieces that feel like true finds, not just resale. The kind of bags you don't see twice.

What really makes this place special is the owner, Melynda. She's genuinely fun to talk to and clearly passionate about what she curates. You can tell there's pride and care behind every piece in the shop. Talking with her about vintage fashion and the stories behind the items made the experience feel personal, not transactional.

This ended up being one of the coolest spots I stumbled into in the fashion district. If you appreciate vintage that feels curated and soulful rather than picked over, Quirk is a must.

Melynda totally saved the day!  She came on a magical unicorn and brought me my dress!  I was searching for a dress for a wedding that went with their Great Gatsby theme and was totally not sure where to begin and what to wear.  She helped me find a necklace and a dress here at the shop that was absolutely perfect!  I got a gold and gunmetal tassel necklace and a robin egg's blue lace Tracy Reese dress.  She was even kind enough to alter the shoulders for me since the wedding was the day of!  They even had a funny wedding card that for the bride and groom!  Mission accomplished, now just have to get a scarf or headpiece for my head to complete the theme and Melynda gave me some tips!!  Will be back for next time when I need her expertise.  They have an always shifting collection of curated vintage and new clothing.    Love Quirk LA!

The Staff at The People’s Free Boutique is amazing.  These folks make the space come alive and fill it with positive energy and a high level of support.

The clothes are well organized by sizes and styles.

Learning about the journey that the organizers took to make this boutique a reality was very inspiring to me.  I learned that this idea became a reality on January 8th - one day after the fire.  This shows the passion, planning, and drive of the staff.

I brought home some much needed clothes and more importantly I left a better person with a renewed outlook on community and collaboration.
