There is a elegance to this dress and jacket set, born from an era when tailoring spoke before a word was said. The ivory bodice sits crisp against a soft grass green skirt, joined by a neat seam that draws the eye to a rounded Peter Pan collar, a shape often associated with 1960s design. Wool holds its structure beautifully here, giving the piece body without stiffness, while the matching cropped jacket in the same green wool echoes the dress collar and closes with a row of silevr tone square buttons, another silhouette commonly seen through that decade. A concealed back zip finishes the dress cleanly.

Worn as a dress alone or layered beneath its cropped jacket, this set flatters through the shoulder and waist. The colour block panel narrows visually through the middle, while the jacket's cropped length balances the straight skirt below, drawing the eye upward and out. Ideal for those who love a strong silhouette with room to move.
