I have no clue on a date on this suit. Any thoughts?!?

Thanks!!

that inter-woven tweed and the font of the label have me thinking 1970s ~ what a beauty! and a classic ~

i would photograph that jacket with black trousers and black knit top, too, to show its versatility...it'd be great w/jeans, too...

I also agree on 1970's and agree with Mary on working with its versatility as far as the photos go. Cute!

Mary! . I haven't figured out how to work pants with my dress form....

Amber - Mary - thanks so much for the date help!

Another vote for '70s.

Vicki ~ is your manni "offset" by any chance? there should be a rod that the form "sits" on ~ is there a single hole? or two? if there are two, it is offset, which means you should be able to take the body off the rod, and run the leg of a pair of trousers on the rod: carefully slide the body back on the rod, and adjust the pants to center.

i find that a larger pair of trousers or jeans works best, as you can zip up the pants and then pin in the excess to the opposite side.

Amber - It isn't offset. I could always unscrew it... LOL. I usually just avoid pants. But I bought a 70s NOS pansuit that is so cute!

Lovely suit, and one of those that's SO wearable!

I'm so glad I'm too big for a lot of vintage. There'd be more in my closet and less in my inventory! LOL.

Good on you! I needed to buy a vintage suit to get into wearing suits at all...
