Authentic 1940s Handmade Satin Two Piece Dress Set Striped Vintage

Authentic 1940s vintage two piece dress set, handmade for the mother of the woman I purchased it from. Pieces like this rarely surface with a known personal history, and the craftsmanship is beautiful. The fabric is stunning. A creamy champagne satin with woven brown and gold stripe detailing that catches the light beautifully. The sheen and texture give it that mid century elegance that modern fabrics rarely replicate. The set includes a cropped structured jacket style bodice with covered buttons and a coordinating high waisted skirt. The pointed hem detail on the bodice is a classic 1940s silhouette that creates a dramatic waistline and pairs beautifully with the skirt. Estimated modern size XS to Small based on measurements, with the waist fitting closer to XS. Please rely on measurements for best fit as vintage sizing differs from modern sizing. Condition is fair vintage and priced accordingly. Please review carefully: • Several brown stains on the skirt front and lower areas • Additional scattered smaller marks on skirt • Some light discoloration in places on skirt • Interior lining shows age • Hook closure at waist All marks are photographed. Due to age and handmade construction, the skirt may benefit from careful cleaning or conservation. Jacket very clean. Measurements (flat): Bust (pit to pit) approx 17-18 in Skirt Waist approx 12 in Bodice length approx 19-20 in Skirt length approx 27.5 in Beautiful authentic 1940s fashion history with a story behind it. ✨
