A Snappy 1930s Suit or Tailored Dress

I am starting the hunt for an ealry 1930s ladies suit or tailered dress. Something in the brown/rust shades. Size is not important, although the 4 - 8 range would be good. Condition is a factor. I want something to go with these shoes:

hey, hey , hey, you guys!

My Shoes. Mine.

I love these shoes. I stood on concrete at a sucky auction for 4 hours to get them.

I guess in a dream world, it would be a brown wool suit or dress with rust piping and gold buttons and buckle.

Gorgeous shoes - is the leather as soft as it looks in the pics?

yep. They have been worn, but the wear as I recall is only on the soles. In life, the brown is not quite that dark and the insets are bit brighter.

Gawd, 30s Ferragamos. Where's the tongue-hits-floor emoticon? Maybe you could do just a matching bag and/or hat with a solid suit?

Thirties Ferragamos! How wonderful.

I have a fairly fabulous brown suit I'll be listing soon, but it's late 40's at the earliest (or so I am told by reliable sources), not wool (it's puckered nylon) and I'd guess that these shoes require a long, straight skirt --- OK, 3 strikes! My suit and I are out!

Never fear - It's going to be a lot easier to find the right suit than it was to get your hands on these shoes.

P.S. How <i>could</i> you turn down Jonathan's generous offer *snort*? :D
