**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.
