Adorable vintage 1950s two-piece skirt suit in vibrant hot pink 100% wool boucle. The short-sleeved fitted top features flattering seaming and a back zipper, while the pencil skirt closes with a side zipper and is partially lined in taffeta. Together, the set creates a polished, feminine secretary look straight from midcentury fashion. Condition Excellent vintage condition with no flaws noted. Provenance Note Though unlabelled, this well-made suit reflects the classic mid-1950s women?s ?secretary? silhouette: fitted bodice, narrow waist, and sleek pencil skirt. Such suits were staples in postwar wardrobes, popularized by both American department stores and designers. The bold pink boucle fabric adds a fashionable twist, while the tailored construction makes it a perfect example of midcentury work-to-cocktail dressing. Similar looks have become iconic thanks to the styling of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Style Aesthetics ? Marvelous Mrs. Maisel retro chic ? Midcentury office-to-cocktail style ?
