Oscar de la Renta Multicolor Floral Short Sleeve Ballerina Skirt Suit - M, 1980s

About the Item

Featuring a full circle skirt with a nearly 13-foot sweep, this ensemble's fit and flare silhouette is modernized by an on-trend shorter length and eye-catching graphic print. The heavyweight cotton jacquard fabric not only keeps the suit perky all day, but also adds a subtle tonal pattern to the weave itself for even more interest. Two-piece suit including short sleeve peplum jacket and voluminous matching circle skirt. Collarless jacket features oversized (1 ½”) shoulder pads, plunging V-neck front and princess seams front and back for flared peplum effect; banded short sleeves and ornamental flap pockets each hip. Four button front closure; fully lined in white acetate. Skirt features plain waistband and voluminous full circle sweep; on seam pockets both sides.
