Get “Carrie-d Away” with this gorgeous style, inspired by Carrie’s vintage Suit in the SATC movie! We love this retro-feel Suit, designed for fabrics like heavy silk charmeuse, wool or silk crepe, or a boucle tweed. The Skirt will also work in drapey sheers like chiffon or georgette. Slim-fit lined & interlined Jacket has a classic collar and rever, long 2-piece sleeves and a curved hem. Jacket front is gathered into an oval and closes with rouleaux loops & buttons. The back has shoulder Princess seams and peplum. Gored, lined Skirt has godet inserts, side seam invisible zipper and a simple straight-cut waistband. Wear this gorgeous suit with killer heels and a fabulous clutch when you need to look your feminine best! Try the jacket over Jeans with our Plain & Simple Fitted T-Shirt for dressed-down chic, or wear the skirt over our Plain & Simple Boy-Short Body for a flirty look.
