This smashing late 1940s suit is a flattering style that took clear inspiration from the WAVES uniform. The collar, with it's notched, rounded lapels, recalls the unique treatment of those uniforms, as does the rich navy blue. The jacket is tailored, with a crisply defined waist and dramatic flare to the hem. It is fully lined in dark navy blue crepe. The skirt is classic straight four-gore style with center front kickpleat. It closes with a sturdy metal zipper on the side.

This suit is clean and ready to be worn. There's two tiny snags to the wool weave on the skirt, nothing of real note. I find no other issues!
