About MePhotocopied template with added designs drawn on top, showing the front and back view of a jacket and skirt suit. There are additional sketches showing design details.The jacket has turn-down collar with lapels, broad padded shoulders and long tapered sleeves. It is fitted, with a tulip-shaped front and a gathered section at the back of the waist. The lapels, cuffs, pockets, hem and back waist gather are all decorated with an applied pattern reminiscent of the paisley pattern pine cone motif.
The pencil skirt is knee-length, with a back vent which has a motif to match the jacket.
