Need help dating a beautiful suit

[zannew]

I hope you can help me date this beautiful suit. The jacket is lined, skirt unlined. To me it feels like rayon or a blend. Thank you!

That is lovely. It looks like there is some interesting seaming on the collar. I'd put it in the 1950s - middle section. Those front buttons - are they like cufflinks?

Yes, there are some pleats on the collar.

It looks 50s to me too and a brocade fabric. Hard to discern if it is rayon based without handling it.

I see - all I could see were the rhinestones!
