Raspberry Red 1940’s Suit

Classic 1940’s suit in a lovely raspberry red color.  The jacket has shoulder pads, two faux front pockets that look sort of like a peplum, and super cool buttons that are red and gold (see close up photo).  There are three gathers right above each pocket, giving the jacket form.  The jacket is fully lined with a rayon crepe fabric.

The skirt fastens on the side with a metal zipper and snap closure.
