    Description

    Vintage 1940s women's taupe 3-piece suit set from Swansdown - New York.  I believe the fabric is rayon - it's definitely a plant-based fiber.
    JACKET:
    The unlined tailored jacket has  two front slash pockets, shoulder pads, long cuffed sleeves, pearlized lucite buttons, bound button holes and two inside pockets.
    TOP:
    The top has cap sleeves and a front tie.  The back closes with 5 clear buttons.
    SKIRT:
    The pencil skirt is below the knee with waist darts and side metal zipper and button closure.  There is a 2-1/2" back slit at the hem.  It is unlined and has pinked seams. (skirt does not have a seam in the front,  I put it on the wrong way for pictures.  The seams are on the side.
    NOTE:  the top measures much larger than the jacket & skirt and it might have been purchased later time but the fabric is the same.
