The Haute Couture version of this suit recently came up at auction and it was very helpful to determine the date of this set (see the provided photo reference). This version would be considered demi-couture and special ordered based on the haute Couture runway version directly through Saks Fifth Avenue and once finished imported back into America. The hat was made in America by a specialist hat maker licensed to do so by Dior. It is remarkable to have the complete set consisting of a jacket, top, skirt, pant and hat along with the original leather belt that you can use on the various pieces. The suiting pieces are made form a grey wool. The jacket is long to the hip and has large flap pockets on the front. The skirt is [pencil style and the pants cut wide. I love the striped, lightweight wool blouse with its huge attached tie. All the pieces are backed in a bright green wool and the pant and skirt are both lined in green silk as well. The hat also is finished in green and no matter what combo the pieces are worn in, they all have that undeniable Dior chicness. Excellent condition with specific condition notes for each piece below.
