Dating a unique rayon crepe suit by Josa Junior

Hi~

My first guess was the 40s but I wanted to be sure that it wasn't earlier. The skirt fastens with a hook/eye closure and has a metal zipper.

Thank you!

Gosh that is really a marvelous looking print on your garment. And rayon crepe is a wonderful fabric. The style of the outfit looks post WWII, late 1940s. A few close up photos might help us to determine if it is a true vintage or a revival style. Is the zipper on the front, or on the side? How is it hemmed?

Very pretty.
 
Hi Barbara~

Thank you! It's hard to see in the photo but the top does not have a zipper. It is open from the waist down at center front. Both pieces are finished in green bias tape. I tried searching for any Josa Junior labels but the few I saw were newer.
