Three Piece Lace Suit

The French woman who owned this super sexy 70's lace pants outfit bought nothing but the best.  Her red Bohan for Dior dress is in the Designer & Couture section, and her Hermes crocodile bag is in the Handbag section.

Unfortunately she also liked to remove the labels from some of her clothes to avoid paying customs fees. As a result this fabulously sexy lace outfit is without a label, but the style and quality speak for themselves.  The delicate lace base is covered with cotton tape lace flowers in every imaginable size.  They have a dimensional quality, and seem to blossom on the swirling vines of cotton tape.

The sheer, unlined jacket has a standup collar and closes to the left of center with five white buttons discreetly worked into the pattern of the lace.  The long sleeves have a fitted cuff and matching button closure.  The unlined jacket is narrow at the shoulders and fitted through the waistline, with fullness over the hips.

Underneath there is a bandeau or bra top.  This is made from the same lace and is fully lined in a flesh toned silk with narrow silk straps.  There are four metal hooks and eyes at the center back for closure.

The sheer lace trousers are unlined to match the jacket.  There is no waistband, they sit just below the waistline.  A center back zipper allows for a smooth look, and a decorative lace edge runs vertically down the center of each trouser leg adding visual interest.  The pants are cut wide and straight through the leg, and they are finished with a decorative lace edge to match the jacket.

Equally stylish if worn separately, all three pieces of this outfit are in pristine condition.
