This suit is of wool tweed in pumpkin colour, a flattering shade for the majority of women.

The jacket is tri-buttoned with set-in sleeves, close-fitting collar and a barrel back. It is set off with a narrow skirt.

Adalo Simpson

The outfit has the new bloused look. It also features three-quarter sleeves; a wide, away-from- the-neck collar with a tailored bow in front, and a beige bone-button closing. The skirt is straight and slim.
