Iris and satin suit
This skirt and bolero suit features an iris-print cotton with metallic gold outlining, pieced with coordinating lavender and dark purple satin. Skirt is gored (pulled tight on mannequin to show only 2 gores- mannequin is MUCH smaller than garment), jacket features lavender satin full flared short sleeves, and a dark purple satin facing and shawl collar. Little purple ‘jewels’ mark where the collar turns under into the bodice facing.
