Wonderful Original 1940s Vintage Navy Blue Chalk Stripe Skirt SuitThis fabulous suit was made in the 1940s from a navy blue wool with a subtle black chalk stripe. It was cut in the classic silhouette of the wartime period with padded shoulders and a gently nipped waist. This may well be a conversion of an earlier menswear suit, which women carried out during the war to combat fabric shortages, a real piece of history. The jacket features a classic masculine inspired three pocket design and a small notched lapel
