VINTAGE BIZET
MADE IN HONG KONG
3-PC BEADED, SEQUIN & PEARL KNIT SUIT IN CORAL
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE SUITS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN - I FOUND THIS BEAUTY ON MY RECENT SHOPPING TRIP TO HOUSTON IN AN ANTIQUE MALL & COULD HARDLY BELIEVE MY WONDERFUL FIND -
THIS VINTAGE KNIT BEADED & PEARL 3-PIECE OUTFIT WAS MADE IN HONG KONG WHERE ALL OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL BEADED DRESSES & SUITS WERE MADE IN THE LATE 60s / EARLY 70s
THE COLOR IN THE OUTFIT IS JUST OUTSTANDING IN CORAL WITH THE WHITE BEADS, SEQUINS & PEARLS ENCRUSTED ON IT - THE CHANNEL-STYLE JACKET IS A VERY HEAVY KNIT MADE TO BE WORN OPEN SO THE MATCHING SHELL WILL BE SEEN - THERE WAS A LOT OF WORK PUT INTO SEWING ON ALL OF THE HUNDREDS OF TINY WHITE BEADS, CLUSTERS OF WHITE SEQUINS & ROUND & ELONGATED PEARLS
THE KNIT JACKET IS FULL FASHIONED AS IN OTHER EXPENSIVE KNITS - THERE IS A HOOK & EYE AT THE TOP OF THE JACKET IN CASE YOU WANT TO CLOSE IT AT THE TOP BUT I THINK ITS PRETTIER TO LEAVE IT OPEN SO THE SHELL UNDERNEATH CAN BE SEEN WITH THE WHITE BEADING AROUND THE NECKLINE - THE JACKET IS COMPLETELY LINED IN A SILKY CORAL LINING - THERE ARE CRISP FOLDS STILL IN THE SLEEVES OF THE JACKET & IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE OUTFIT WAS NOT WORN MUCH IF AT ALL
THE MATCHING CAP SLEEVE SWEATER IS OUT OF A LIGHTER FINER SOFT KNIT IN THE SAME BEAUTIFUL SHADE OF CORAL
THE JACKET & SKIRT ARE OUT OF THE SAME HEAVY KNIT - SKIRT HAS WIDE ENCASED ELASTIC WAISTBAND & LIKE A ST. JOHN KNIT CAN BE SPLIT TO MAKE THE ELASTIC TIGHTER OR LOOSER IF YOU SHOULD WANT TO ADD NEW ELASTIC - THE SKIRT HAS A SIDE ZIPPER WITH A SLIDE HOOK & A SNAP -
JUST A GORGEOUS 3-PIECE VINTAGE KNIT OUTFIT ENCRUSTED WITH BEADS, SEQUINS & PEARLS IN THIS WONDERFUL SET FROM HONG KONG

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be NEW, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. Please remember that unless specified that the item is new, all items have been used and will show varying signs of use/wear. I may miss a small imperfection but we always list the obvious ones to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing/using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.
Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.
Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I DEFINITELY would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.
The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
