date & KW help pls on dress & peplum jacket set

[MyVintageCocktail]

Would this be late 40's to very early 50's? It is labeled "Trim Look Fashions," and is made of acetate. Has a cute peplum jacket that closes only with a hook & eye at the waist, and has large buttons on the long, rounded-lapel collar. And I cannot figure out how the "tabs" on the jacket sleeves are supposed to be--turned down or left straight up? Side metal zipper, and belt with stiffened-fabric backing. I think it's been shortened at the hem a bit. And I cannot remember the term for this neckline--can somebody help? And, best of all, it is a large or extra-large! I may keep it for me if it fits!

Thanks in advance!

That is so purty.

I think you are right on the date. The only thing that comes to mind on the neckline is heart shaped??

I like the sleeve tabs up.

It sure is! Purdy that is. Love the collar on the jacket, too.

I can only think of key hole neckline, but I think that might be more angular....

l would say this is a 'cusp' item...circa 1948-52...the cuffs are correct upright, the neckline reminds me of a sweetheart neckline, have heard it called cupid, dunno why perhpas because its double scalloped ?

looks to be in good condition!

I got for the latter 40s to early 50s also. And it looks like a modifed or inverted sweetheart neckline.
