This is such a fun, versatile vintage David Hayes 3 piece skirt suit. We love David Hayes vintage pieces and tend to find them often at our higher end estates. They are always well made and have such interesting prints, patterns and colors!
This vintage 1980's suit includes a red 100% silk blouse and an ivory jacket with a matching skirt. You can wear them all together or break up the set for a nice group of fun separates to pair with things you already have in your closet!
The blouse is in a red silk with tiny yellow squares, resembling polka dots from afar. The front is micro pleated and closes with red metallic dome buttons. There is a tie at the neckline and the shoulders are gathered and have unique pleats around the arms, which gives this blouse great volume.
The ivory linen blazer has the same silk red and pale yellow square print of the blouse on the lapels The shoulders are pleated and gathered similarly to the blouse and are nicely structured with shoulder pads. There are two button closures at the center front opening and the jacket is fully lined. Labeled a vintage size 12.
The matching ivory linen skirt has a narrow waistband and a large box pleat down the center front with a metal zipper with flat hook and eye for closure. There are functional side slit pockets and it is fully lined.
The original fabric content label was cut off the skirt but it feels like a linen or linen blend. We estimate this would best fit a modern size 8/10, but please review the measurements for the most accurate fit..
