This is a fabulous suit.
Made in the 1940's and labelled Luckey Style it is made from quality linen which has a wonderful drape. Beautifully tailored jacket which is double breasted with a nipped in waist, has big shoulder pads and neat collar and cuffs. The skirt has a good amount of swish to it and fastens on the left side with a zip and button.
Looks great with a high neck blouse but because it fastens quite high it also looks good on it's own.

Condition
Good/very good with some minor points to note;
- the skirt zip has been replaced by me with a nylon zip as the original was broken
- there are faint marks on the jacket where someone has marked where they are placing the buttons - see photo
- the skirt is a slightly different colour to the jacket so has most likely been worn and washed more
- some minor fade to the shoulders
- a small mark on the right jacket front, near hem - see photo
