SOLD Vintage 40s MILGRIM Navy Wool Gabardine Suit Medium bust 39"
$0.00

Sally Milgrim was a famous designer who had several stores across the country. She was one of the first to use celebrities in her advertisements and she made inaugural gowns for 3 First Ladies. This navy blue wool gabardine suit dates to the early 1940s. The jacket has the strong shoulder line of the time which is supported with cotton filled shoulder pads. The front of the jacket features angled seams that are accented with top stitching. The jacket closes with self-fabric buttons and bound buttonholes. There is no button or buttonhole at the waist so as to accomodate a belt. We’ve shown the jacket belted, but the belt shown is NOT included. The A-line skirt has a set-on waistband and side metal zipper. The jacket is completely lined in navy rayon crepe and the skirt is unlined.  Original price – $195.00. All sale items are Final Sale with no returns accepted.

CONDITION: Very Good – The jacket is meant to be belted, but the original belt is missing. You’ll need to add your own belt, as there is no button or buttonhole at the waist. The thread belt loops at the sides are both broken, but can easily be cut away, if desired. The bottom button is a plastic replacement and does not match the rest of the buttons. No moth damage.

SHIPPING: Shipping cost for this suit is $15.00 in the US and $27.00 international.
