4" flat across from side seam to side seam

Side pockets sit on each hip along the seam on the pants and there are also pockets along the seam of the side slit on the jacket

An absolutely stunning set by Bill Blass is the epitome of refined lady like elegance

Cuffed sleeves and button front

I love the wide A-line cut skirt that flows to the ground and is actually quite wide as it nears the floor despite the fact that it skims over the hips below the waistline

1960s Cream Beaded Malcolm Starr Dress designer-nina-ricci 4" flat across from sideThe bead work is so gorgeous on this dress! The entire neckline and front is heavily beaded and that stunning bead work continues all around the waistline as well. The base fabric is a off white silk blend and the beads themselves a combination of gold and a true white. Set so that they actually stack atop on another the entire beaded detailing has a fabulous 3D effect. I love how the pattern is almost jewel like in feel like a huge elaborate necklace
