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 --

              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.

 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 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 -- )

 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.

    (A 100% WOOL TWEED DOLCE & GABBANA COUTURE SUIT NOW WOULD BE TRIPLE WHAT I PAID.)
