| Place of origin |
This suit sums up 1930s elegance with its sleek lines, nipped-in waist and pleated skirt. Tailor-made outfits were practical yet smart and well suited to town or country wear. Designers created the most fashionable models. Here Molyneux has attached the silk blouse to the skirt to reduce bulk and create a stylish dress when the jacket is removed.
