1970's-1980's KOOS VAN DEN AKKER cotton seersucker Blazer & Skirt set 8

This late 1970's to early 80's skirt suit set has the fun of Koos appliqué work, but without the loud colors that some find to be 'too much'. Take it down a notch with some soothing beige, cream, tan, stone blue and pink tones. The skirt has a flared silhouette with inverted, wide box pleats and one inch width waistband. There is a nylon zipper and hook + eye center back closure. The jacket features more interesting details; a shawl style collar trimmed with an overdyed ditsy print (micro floral), front and back shoulder yokes adorned with a topstitched floral print also trimmed with the ditsy print. This prints are echoed at the upturned cuffs. There are two welt hip pockets, as well as two wonderfully whimsical wooden buttons for waist closure. The jacket in mostly unlined, with light shoulder padding, and an overall boxy, or straight cut. The overall condition is near mint to very good, with the skirt having no flaws aside from light chipping to the paint on its zipper pull. The blazer, however, does have many very small, somewhat pale stains throughout; two small dots at upper right shoulder, one pale dot on right side of collar fold, one near upper button, one pale spot at left chest, and two small dots near right center front. These are all barely noticeable, but we do disclose any and all issues. Please review photographs fro full details. Labels read 'Koos Van Den Akker, New York', 'size 8', 'Dry Clean Only'.
