Description

This is an incredible vintage 2 piece outfit from the 1980's. This Jean-Louis Scherrer numbered vintage 2 piece outfit includes a top that is similar to a bandeau that ties in the back and a pair of high low wide leg high waisted pants that give the appearance of a skirt.

The lightweight fabric is an pink and black metallic silk in an abstract print. The fabric has varying matte and shiney sections - the photos give the illusion of various shades of pink, but that is only the lighting as the color is uniform throughout.

The versatile top has metal boning on the sides of the bust and 2 scarf like ties that tie in the back. The front part of the top is ruched allowing some flexibility in the bust size. The top has a double layer of fabric so it is the same on the inside and outside.

The bottoms are fly away, palazzo, gaucho style pants. They have a seam that comes all the way down to about mid-thigh which creates a beautiful slit on the sides of the pants. Although they are quite wide leg, they follow the figure well and add a little pop of leg without showing too much! There is a thick waist band with three black vertical buttons in the front. There is a metal zipper down the center front seam for closure. There are unique darts on the back and pleat-like ruching on the front. The material from the fly away effect are much shorter on the sides of the hips, making the pants to look like a skirt!

This is an extremely versatile outfit that can be worn as an evening dress alternative or during the day! Made in France. Labeled size 40. Style number (top): 474068. Style number (bottoms): 474151. Bottoms labeled 38. Fabric content: 80% Silk 20% Nigel. Estimated size: 6.

Measuring & Fit Guide

We offer a large selection of designers and manufacturers that span the 20th and early 21st century. Sizing varies greatly, so we have outlined our measuring and size estimating process.

The best way to know if a vintage item will fit you is to take a garment that fits you well, similar to the one you are interested in purchasing, and measure it the way we measure ours.

View our video guide to taking accurate body measurements:

We lay all garments flat and measure as follows*:

DRESSES		PANTS
BUST - under arm to under arm across the front and then double that measurement.		Measure the WAISTBAND, widest part of the HIPS, widest part of the THIGH on one leg and width of the CUFF, then double those measurements
WAIST - find the smallest part of the garment if there isn't an obvious seam for the waist and measure across and then double that measurement.		LENGTH - Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the cuff along the side seam.
HIPS - Find the largest part of the hip area and measure flat, then double that measurement.		RISE - Measure from the crotch to the top of the waistband.
LENGTH - from the nape of the neck or the top of the shoulders, depending on the style of garment. We will measure to the waist when applicable, so that you can determine if it will fit your torso, and then a waist down measurement.		INSEAM - Measure from the crotch to the bottom of the cuff along the inside seam.
SLEEVES - measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve. When we think that the arm opening is particularly small, we will provide that measurement as well.**

*Fabrics with stretch will have some give, we will try to mention the range of measurements that will fit comfortably.

**With dolman sleeves, the size is an estimation based on the waist as the body seamlessly joins the sleeve.
