Need help dating a knit suit

[persephone60]

Again, no internal tags. There's a skirt that goes with the jacket that is made out of the same material--it feels like an acrylic knit. The styling looks 60s, but I wasn't sure if there were knits with metallic threads in the 60s. If you want pictures of additional features of the suit, let me know.

It's probably 60s, but it would really help to see the skirt, the length of the jacket in proportion to the skirt, etc. And, yes, there were a LOT of knits shot with metallic threads going around in the 60s, but you can also find them in the 50s and, of course, later than the 60s.

Thanks--I'll take more pictures and post them.

Here's a picture of the skirt. It's a slight A-line that is knee length on me (I'm tall, so it might be slightly longer than knee-length on shorter women).

Here's a picture of the entire suit:

It looks '60's to me with the 3/4 sleeve. I am not seeing button holes - does the jacket zip? If so - what does the zipper look like and what is it made of?

No zipper or button holes--there are loops sticking out. You can see one of them in this pic:

Cute suit, and, yes, seeing the whole thing, I agree that it's 60s. Love the color. The knitted fabric looks quite nice, as does the lining.

Thanks!
