Inspiration...Suit

 It feels like it has been a long time since matching suits were the style.  I wore them last in the early 20s but they were pant suits.  Here is a lovely skirt suit:

This is Lafayette 148 New York Patch Pocket Tailored Chore Jacket.  Price tag: $1998.00.  Details:  waist-defining vertical seams, pick stitch details, 25 1/2-inches long from shoulder to hem, spread collar, single-breasted front, patch pockets, long sleeves, tailored fit, linen/silk fabric.  

This is Lafayette 148 New York Linen-Silk Pencil Skirt.  Price tag: $798.00.  Details:  vertical front darts, sits high on hips, center back slit, hem hits around the knee, pencil silhouette, invisible zipper, fully lined.  Model is 5'10".  Additional details at Neman Marcus website.

This is Burda Style 6461.  The View B jacket is fairly close to the inspiration jacket.  

This is Butterick 5719.  This pattern is really a bargain with 2 jacket variations, a dress, a skirt, and pants.

Hope you are inspired.

Happy Stitching!
