Perfect for lunch out or a special St. Paddy’s dinner date.  Yes, a very rare construction to find.  My grandmother had a dress in brown made this way and I have a black suit in my true vintage closet, but that’s it.  Ribbon sewn in swirls over mesh.  Can you imagine the time taken to construct a garment this way if done by hand?  Though the fabric was, I believe, done by machine, still very painstaking.

It’s always nice to have beautiful separates.  This looks marvelous with some of my mid-century dressy blouses.
