Skirt waist about 27"/tight 28" and has an extra 1 1/2" on the button tab to fudge slightly larger

♛Condition

Jacket is in very good vintage shape while the matching skirt is wearable but as-is. Clean, vibrant, and 70+ years old.

To note: jacket has the slight pulling to a few seams as shown, and has two tiny pinpricks low on the rear waist that are invisible when worn and do not go through to skin.

Skirt has picked up about six little holes and a couple pinpricks low down -- the highest three holes are 9 1/2" from the hem and the remainder are at the hem, so could be removed by hemming this extra-long skirt. You could also wear a red half slip and the blemishes would be nearly invisible, or just rock her as she is! 

See photos -- still a banger of a suit and is priced much lower than pristine would command.
