1970s | Brown Two-Piece Jacket And Skirt Set - 12

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s two-piece set comprising a lightweight short sleeve jacket and matching skirt in brown with a subtle fine ribbed texture throughout. The jacket is cut with a notched collar, button-front fastening and a straight, easy silhouette, while the skirt has a clean coordinating line that completes the set neatly. A very wearable matching outfit with that polished but unfussy 1970s look.

Era:
1970s

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Presents well overall with light, honest wear consistent with age and use. A strong clean set with good colour and an easy, wearable finish.

Provenance Note:
This is exactly the kind of set that makes vintage dressing feel easy. The appeal is in the balance: a clean, coordinated look, a softly structured jacket, and a simple matching skirt that can be worn together or split apart. The fine textured finish adds just enough surface interest, and the brown tone gives it a warm, grounded feel that sits very well in a 1970s piece. It is a smart, versatile set with plenty of period character and real day-to-day wearability.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
