This gorgeous little set is an easy, more feminine version of the traditional suit. The base is that beautiful Valentino red that is covered in a spray of pretty little flowers in bright and happy colors. Even though it is softer in feel then a more traditional suit, it still has the elegant cut and line you expect from Valentino's work. The jacket has a lovely spring feel to it with shorter sleeves and a deep V front. I am almost hesitant to call is a jacket because it could easily pass for that or as a top. It is constructed to skim over the body with shaping through the waist by elastic that is gathered all the way around. Under that is a slight flare at the hem. A pretty set of glossy red buttons at the waist detail the front as well and string padding in each shoulder give it structure. The skirt has a simple pencil shape and has pockets on each hip. The fabric used for both pieces is a beautiful light silk crepe that give the pieces just enough weight to hold the shape and serve as a beautiful backdrop to the color. And it is even better in person. Excellent condition.

Both the dress and jacket are fully lined in a textured red silk of very high quality. The jacket closes with hidden snaps and a buttons at the waist. There is elastic set into the waist seam for ease of fit and shaping. Padding in each shoulder. The skirt closes with a side set zipper and hook and eye on the waistband. It pockets on each hip.
