Elegant Survival

Elegant woman's tweed suit with velvet collar and twin-pleat skirt. Listing says size 14, but read the measurements carefully--it is more like a size 8 or 10. Superb Cambrian Welsh Tweed Double Breasted Skirt Suit, by Laura Ashley--the quality is amazing; beautiful heavyweight pure wool cloth by a mill no longer in production; fully-lined, amazing red, green and blue colour combination, superb styling, black velvet colar, side patch pockets. This skirt suit will get you through the winter and Christmas parties in classic style. The warmth of this luxurious double-breasted tweed jacket may even eliminate the need for an overcoat on some dry, cold days, when worn with a cashmere or wool scarf. This Laura Ashley vintage suit is in excellent condition, and is offered at a very low starting bid by our sterling friend Peter in Herefordshire.

A figure-flattering skirt in luxurious, elegant tweed, this classic has a waistband that can be let-out to 28".

Elegant Winter Dressing

For daytime, I would wear this skirt-suit with a white, high-necked jabot or ruffled blouse, or a white turtleneck. At night, you could wear a silk blouse in red, blue, green or black under this fabulous velvet-collared jacket. This elegant tweed lends itself to many colour combinations.

A pair of tall, warm black boots would be perfect with this elegant tweed suit, as would some black leather or velveteen gloves. A black or white fur hat would complement the ensemble.

If this classic tweed skirt-suit fits your dimensions, you are fortunate. Good luck bidding!
