Hi Caryn, this is an interesting outfit. The dress is in the style of a Chinese cheongsam, which has been around forever, but I've personally never seen one in this type of fabric (which isn't saying much, since I've only owned a couple of them). And the jacket looks like a bolero, which seems an unusual style for a cheongsam. The sleeves on it don't seem in the same vein as the dress. I "think" some of these dresses did have jackets but I think they would have been styled more like a mandarin jacket.
I'm guessing it's a home- or custom-tailored ensemble, perhaps from two different patterns? I don't really know--hopefully someone who knows more about this style can shed more light!
