An antique two-piece set that exudes a high-fashion, mode aesthetic.

Though I have no specific details about its origin, it appears to be a French vintage piece.

I believe it is likely a handmade, women's workwear garment.

The set consists of an open-collar snap-button shirt and a skirt made with ample fabric that wraps around the waist.

Both pieces can be worn individually, making this a versatile set.

It is made from a slightly soft, old cotton satin fabric, with a texture similar to a thin moleskin but with a subtle sheen.

It has a moderate luster that creates depth and character in the shadows formed by the garment's folds and the way light hits it.

I am wearing the top against my skin, and thin shorts and tights underneath the skirt.

The shirt has a generous width that provides a three-dimensional shape, while the shoulders and sleeve areas are compact for a well-balanced silhouette.

The skirt can be wrapped and worn in various flexible ways.

I have included photos of how it is wrapped when worn, so please refer to those if you like.

The exact age is unknown, but it is a one-of-a-kind antique piece that dates back to at least the 1940s.

Highly recommended for those with a sophisticated sense of style.
