Ladies suits

[Matt Deckard]

Great suit Trickeration... Looks like you mean business. I wish more women dressed like that, it just looks good.

I saw the cutest vintage suit at an antique mall the other day,but I'd need to lose 5 pounds to wear it. (Which wouldn't kill me)
It was a 1940s suit with padded shoulders,nipped in the waist,heart shaped pockets,and a flared skirt all in a dusty blue.
I'm tempted to go back and get it as exercise enticement.It's haunting me!

I thought this had a pretty classic cut for a modern Brooks Brothers suit.

Well, here's a photo to keep him happy:

JBD, where did you get this photo? Do you have any details on it? It looks rather like someone I know... er, knew... er, like someone I know looked then? Ech, grammar...

 

[Matt Deckard]

Cool photos! I like the last one best I think.

Here is one along the same lines.

Root.

PS. She's not wearing a suit so, every one stay cool. Matt.

She's beautiful.

Me in a suit;

Smashing... I wish this look were seen around town more often.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Now she is stunning. I'm more into the 30's, though that's the the 40's look I like!

Just a sidenote:

It seems that the true "ladies suit" is becoming somewhat of a rarity. Most of the women at my law school now favor the pants suit, usually in some abominable cheap looking black material. I am not sure why they are so popular, as I have never seen one which looked at all good. Perhaps they feel wearing a skirt isn't a "power" look for a woman. Who knows.

I just wish the real ladies suit (with skirt) would return.

I don't understand either; whenever I see a woman wearing a suit like the one in that Coke ad she has all the power.

Not bad there Deckard!

How about Carole Landis, I think this outfit is a nice looking suit.

And this one...

More to come...

This may sound strange,...but i always sort of envied vintage womens suits.
Especially from the 40's-early 50's.
In the sense that there was always more variety and ideas and colors and concepts and cuts in women's clothing.
Some outfits are really amazing.

Now you realize, Vladimir, that these women are most likely multitasking. A lot of the "suits" that I see while strolling the mall in the younger women's shops tends to look like stuff you'd see when out at bars or clubs. Cheap stretchy black fabric with no shape.

Suits like the one in the Coke ad are available for about $500 at Nordstrom or $350 at Talbots. It's one of the few clothing stores that still carries such suits; even Brooks Brothers now has a really limited selection for women. Ann Taylor is now pretty much stretchy, synthetic material.

Liz Claiborne used to have nice suits--today, I'm wearing a brown plaid wool blazer by Liz that I bought about 13 years ago in a thrift store. But Liz has sadly gone the way of the androgenous black pantsuit.:cry:

Three of the suits I've made

 

[adamgottschalk]

Marry me?

My word. If I saw a woman walking around looking like this, I'm quite certain I'd have no choice but to get right down on my knee and say, "Dear lady, be kind: say you'll be with me forever and a day."

Goes to show that gingham doesn't have to be reserved for "Daisy Duke" shorts!!

 

[whistlebait]

Also wanted to add that many young women don't have the money to spend on a "real" suit...but of course that's when consignment stores come in handy.

 

[Wild Root]

You all know what I'd say...

Vintage women's suits I see as of late are around the $50-$75 dollar price. Some are in not so bad sizes. Plus, they look sooo much better.:arated:
