Thanks to the TV series Mad Men (2007-2015), the work-a-day fashions of the 1960's are HOT, HOT, HOT today...and rightfully so!! The ladies who worked in the 'office' world always dressed immaculately, for the most-part in dresses or deals suits...with pencil skirts or A-lines, rounded or scooped or "V" collared necklines, and made of easy to wear 'n wash fabrics. Colors and hemlines varied a bit as the decade of the 1960's morphed into the wild 'n crazy 70's, a whole other fashion era!!
This Mid-Century 2-Piece, New-with-Tag "Sanford Originals" Dress & Jacket Suit is the perfect all-around-town ensemble that could be worn to the office, to the special luncheon, and then by the end of the day, the lucky lady wearing this suit could be dining-out in the nicest restaurant in town!
This scrumptious "Chocolate" Suit is made of a Rayon Blend, the tags reading "Shangro by Hargro Fabrics, Inc"; further stating "The slubs, nubs and irregularities of this fabric are an inherent part of the fabric and add to its beauty." The beautifully shaped Sheath sleeveless dress sports a simple rounded neckline so that the gorgeous collar of the jacket lays perfectly against the dress; the front of the jacket buttons-up with 3 matching fabric and rhinestone buttons. (There is a 4th button hole at the neckline, however no button, and I see no indication that there ever was a button attached, but because of the 'lay' of the collar, that buttonhole isn't visible.)
The tags mark the suit as Size 14 and is probably a Modern Size 10/12, with the following APPROXIMATE measurements:
DRESS:
34" across Waistline area
36"-38" Bustline, underarm-to-underarm
36" Hip area
39" Length, shoulder to hemline
JACKET:

36" - 38' across Hip area of Jacket
18-1/2" Length, shoulder to bottom of jacket
