Looking for a 1950 or Mod 60\'s Skirt Suit with a 40

I trying to find a vintage skirt suit from either one of these two periods.
1950 or 1960 in a typical styles of the period.

The catch is that I need the skirt/ jacket to have a waist measurement of at least 40" and the jacket across shoulders at least 20" or bigger.
For a the 50's one I would like a long straight skirt well below the knees and for the 60's the shorter the better , both in a heavy weight fabric, colour is not important not black if I can help it .


I know this is a needle in a hay stack task.

Thank you for reading this.

Thank you very much Jennifer it is very kind of you to do a search , it is niceI will keep watching it..
 
What about also widening your search for skirts that have a 38" waist and inquiring as to how much room there is to take it out? If it can be taken out an inch or two it might work for you. Buying something a size down doesn't always work if one has to let out waist AND hips. In that case the whole skirt would have to essentially be remade, but in your case, the idea just would more likely work as only the waist would have to expand most likely. I have found when skirts are just an inch too tight in the waist, moving the button can work too. You can easily move the button back and return it to how you found it if you decide someday to pass along the skirt to someone else who would want it in the condition it was originally designed in.

Of course, this would only work if the outfit was a jacket/skirt combo rather than a dress/jacket.
