DOLCE & GABBANA COUTURE TWEED MINI SKIRT SUIT -- CLASSIC & HOT VINTAGE
FOR DECADES, CLIENTS WORLDWIDE HAVE COUNTED ON DOLCE & GABBANA TO DO CUTTING EDGE --
& THEY'VE COUNTED ON DOLCE & GABBANA TO DO CLASSIC -- WITH A TWIST THAT'S SEXY & DARING --
THAT'S THIS 2 PIECE SUIT in a BLACK & BEIGE 100% WOOL --
with WHITE NUBS & WHITE HAIRS AS IF THERE'S A BIT OF MOHAIR MIXED in the WOOL.
THE WOOL is WOVEN in a GEOMETRIC 'STEP-TWEED' PATTERN -- THICK & RICH -- MEDIUM WEIGHT
THE JACKET HAS 3 LARGE TORTOISE BUTTONS -- THE SKIRT HAS A HIDDEN 8" BACK ZIPPER.
IT WAS WORN TWICE -- ONCE IN PARIS & ONCE IN NYC.
I WORKED IN WHOLESALE CLOTHING -- I BOUGHT IT TO MEET CLIENTS IN PARIS -- $2,200 NEW in 1993.
I WORE IT WITH STEEL GREY LEATHER GLOVES -- HI BLACK SUEDE BOOTS & ONLY UNDERGARMENTS --
I WAS AS STYLISH AS ANY PARISIAN WOMAN & THE LOOK WAS MUCH ADMIRED -- IT'S A HOT SUIT.
THE JACKET IS CUT TO HUG & THE A-LINE MINI SKIRT ADDS THE SEXY FACTOR.
THE 2nd TIME IT WAS WORN WAS FOR DIFFERENT CLIENTS IN NYC -- with a LOW-CUT BLACK BODYSUIT --
& BLACK OPAQUE TIGHTS & THE SAME HI BOOTS -- NO GLOVES.
AGAIN -- IT WAS MUCH ADMIRED & A WELL PUT-TOGETHER VIBE FOR NYC (or PARIS)
I CALLED THIS SUIT MY SERIOUS GROWN UP LOOK, THO IT'S REALLY TOO SEXY TO BE CALLED 'SERIOUS.'
THIS SUIT WOWS -- IT'S ALSO WARM & WONDERUL ON A CHILLY DAY --
COMBINE with a TURTLENECK or SWEATER -- CHANGE ITS LOOK WITH WHATEVER YOU'LL MIX UP.
WEAR THE JACKET WITH A LONG WHITE BLOUSE UNDER & BOTH OVER JEANS --
or -- ADD REMOVEABLE REAL or FAUX FUR to the LAPELS & CUFFS FOR ANOTHER VIBE.
THE SUIT HAS BEEN STORED HANGING -- IT COULD USE A PRESSING AFTER BEING AGAINST CLOTHES --
OR FOR DUST THAT GETS IN A CLOSET OVER YEARS.
AS I LOADED THE PHOTOS -- I REALIZED THEY DON'T DO THE SUIT JUSTICE --
(I TOOK SOME WITH & WITHOUT THE FLASH TO SHOW THE TWEED & DETAILS BUT -- )
THE SHAPELESS SEWING FORM ISN'T A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW IT WILL FIT A BODY WITH CURVES --
IT LOOKS 'LEAN' ON THE FORM -- NOT AS FINE AS IT LOOKS ON A BODY -- EVEN A THIN BODY HAS SHAPE.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL GIFT YOU BUY FOR YOURSELF OR FOR YOUR SPECIAL PERSON
A STRIKING HAIL TO THE '90s -- YOU WON'T SEE THIS SUIT COMING OR GOING -- VERY FEW WERE MADE.
OWN A PIECE OF FASHION HISTORY WITH THIS MINT VINTAGE MINI SKIRT SUIT
(A 100% WOOL TWEED DOLCE & GABBANA COUTURE SUIT NOW WOULD BE TRIPLE WHAT I PAID.)
