Vintage 1960s UK size 8 gorgeous yellow two piece Mod suit.
Brand - Susan Small.
Condition - Good vintage condition for its age with a couple of issues. There is a small mark to the front of the skirt. It looks like a tiny brown mark that someone has tried to sponge leaving a water mark around it. There are also some very small holes dotted about. A few on the bodice and a few to the skirt - see additional pics. These issues don't detract from how fab this suit is. The pics don't do it justice at all.

It comprises a belted dress with matching jacket.
The dress has a high neckline with stitch detailing and it fastens to the back with a zip & hook fastening.

With the matching jacket. Waist length and long sleeves.
Fastening down the front of the jacket with four yellow & gold buttons.

A really gorgeous vintage suit that is the perfect addition to your winter vintage wardrobe.
Please note that the suit is being shown pinned to fit the mannequin.
