Swing Suit

by Folkwear

The silhouette is pure 1950s, yet has a timeless appeal.  The jacket features wide lapels that are stitched down to form pockets.  The full back is box-pleated into the shoulder yoke, creating a wonderful trapeze shape.  We've paired the jacket with a slim skirt that tapers to a narrow mid-calf-length hem.  Try it in traditional wool or silk suiting with self or contrasting fabric lapels and cuffs.  Misses sizes XS to XL in same packet.
