Two different fabrics are used in this striking two piece Couture suit from Molyneux, Paris. The style of the suit is from the 1960's, but the quality of workmanship is timeless.

Horizontally striped wool is accented by round green buttons and a topstitched detail that appears at the neckline, cuffs, hem and darts of the jacket, as well as the small decorative detail in the back. The jacket is lined in golden yellow silk taffeta. The hemline is weighted to insure the proper appearance, and almost all of the stitching is done by hand.

The skirt is a solid green wool. It has no waistband for a sleeker fit, there is a center back metal zipper and the matching green silk lining is hand stitched. The pleats are most unusual, the fabric is narrow and flat at the waistline above the ever widening box pleats. These pleats are created without a seam, not a single stitch is used. The fabric is cut and the pleats are pressed into place. This is an amazing feat of construction found only in couture clothing.

Both the jacket and the skirt are in excellent condition.
