1960s Cream Ribbon Suit, Riviera International
ca Late 50s, early 1960s
This lovely cream ribbon suit was made in the 1960s by Riviera International. Reincarnate this lovely vintage suit and showcase it all over again, for the classics never go out of style. Jackie O' style classic!!
The suit is completely lined in a fine crepe silk (including sleeves). The skirt is is just below knee length, jacket and short (60s style) top both have darts, not quite a pencil skirt but form fitting. Matching buttons (for show, snaps under-
neath) and metal zipper closure at the side of skirt and back of top. The
jacket sleeves hit just above elbow (a very 60s style).
Made extremely well, with original label inside the jacket. This suit is amazing quality, crisp, bright and beautiful still after all of these years. All buttons are intact, a few stains (possibly rust) on the skirt, zipper on skirt glides easily. You would be hard pressed to find something comparable in the stores today...it is very versatile as well. Some loosening of some of the ribbons throughout,
but nothing to drastic. Their are underarm stains on the top unfortunately
but not through to the jacket. We have not had it dry cleaned so not sure if they will come out ? Dry Clean Only.
Measurements;
Jacket: 38" bust, 15.25" shoulders (seam to seam), 27" length,
12.5" sleeve length (from under arms), waist 36". (some light staining
to the lining), some loose ribbons (nothing to drastic). I think at some
point the snaps were moved on one side to allow for a looser fit as
you can see some stitching still in place where they were removed.
All buttons are decorative only.
Top; 38" bust, 19" length, 36" waist. (underarm staining), some
loose stitches, some staining to the lining.
Skirt: 28" waist, 38" hips, 26" length. (as mentioned above, there are
a few rust marks/stains on the skirt). Our mannequin was a bit hippy,
so we were unable to get the skirt over the hips to display on it.
This one is a classic Jackie O !!
