A beautifully understated vintage two-piece in a warm ivory with the softest apricot undertone. The corset is detailed with fine diagonal pintucks arranged in chevron panels to contour the bodice. Paired with a dupion silk skirt, cut in a clean, gently flared silhouette with a subtle natural sheen characteristic of the silk. The contrast between the structured, textural corset and fluid simplicity of the skirt gives the set a refined, quietly modern feel.
BRAND: The skirt is labeled as Monsoon. The bodice has no tags however these were sourced as a matching set from England. I can not confirm if they were originally purchased together as a matching set or purchased separately. The colour is near identical and they pair together beautifully. The skirt is slightly more sheen as it is dupion silk, whereas the bodice has a more matte finish reminiscent of a silk and cotton blend.
SIZE: The set would best fit a modern size AU 12. The skirt is marked as a UK 14 (vintage sizing) but would best fit a modern size AU 12. The top has no tags but would also best fit a size 12. Refer to measurements. Could also fit a size 10 but would require some slight fitting alterations. Modelled on a size 8, 172cm tall, slightly pinned at bust and waist.
