Vintage 60s Ladies Skirt Suit Set English Cashmere Wool

This is a vintage early 60s or late 50s era two piece ladies’ skirt suit set made in a camel colour.  The fabric is a cashmere and wool blend, made in England.  The jacket has a rounded “peter pan” style collar, 3/4 length sleeves and has a notched opening.  There is a shallow pocket at either lower front side.  The skirt is made in a below-the-knee length.  Both pieces of the skirt suit set are fully lined.  Please note that the skirt suit set was too large for my mannequin, so was pinned back for the photos. 

Fabric label:  Pure Wool & Cashmere Made in England 

Label: Morlaine Montreal.  I think that Morlaine was a retailer.

This is a nice quality vintage skirt suit set - priced reasonably to allow for button replacement….
