This one’s a little later than the suits we’ve just seen – it belonged to a relative years ago. I think it is a Catalina brand.
Abstract floral print, with a cute little figure-saving skirt over the hips. I love the soft colors.
Such a pleasure to receive things from people I know – it’s great to have the inside scoop on the history and care of the garment. And a double plus when I can wear them, too!

Every well-dressed woman in the 1950’s needed at least one tailored wool coat of good quality. Each of these could take her anywhere – from a dress-up occasion to mundane shopping errands.
It could even be thrown over a house-dress! If she were just making quick stops, no one would have to know and her smart good looks would make a very good impression.
These are all beautifully made. The collars and the lines flatter in different ways. Basic neutrals like this are the most versatile, while also holding the top spot when it comes to enduring elegance. Always one of the best wardrobe investments we could make . . . .
