Nowadays, there is huge demand for this label from collectors and fashionistas from around the world. It must be said that this label is one of my all-time favourites as many of my friends know.:) The label received the Gold Medal in Fashion Design, America's highest award in fashion. Lilli Ann was also recognized for its innovative designs and quality construction. On the other hand, the Lilli Ann customer knew that their suits, coats, and dresses were made of the highest quality, hand-loomed fabric. As a result, Schuman was credited with saving many of these from financial ruin and in official recognition for his services was awarded Medals of Honour from both France and Italy. Fabrics were specially imported from France and Italy, many made expressly for Lilli Ann. These fabrics were bought from mainly small textile companies that were in dire financial straits after the war and in danger of closing. This famous American label was registered in 1933 by Adolf Schuman. * Long sleeves with turnover notched cuffs * White organza trim with embroidered daisies decorate each lapel * Front button closure with self-fabric buttons * Array of darts front and back provide the nipped waist with wide peplum effect * Decorative rhinestone buttons decorate each lapel * Jacket features a notched collar with wide lapels * Classic silhouette with a nipped waist and straight skirt * Fabric is navy worsted wool with white flecks * Exceptionally tailored 1950s commercially made suit This is the maximum size allowable, so please consider individual fit and comfort.
