Vintage shipping Camel Gabardine Suit with Peplum, ca 1940s

This suit is in very good vintage condition: there are a few snags in the fabric and spots on both the jacket and the skirt, although none of these is easily discernible. The jacket is lined in camel crepe. There is a shoulder pad on either side.

Please be sure to note the notched 3" collar and the iconic peplum and pinched waist; note, too, the 5" side slit pocket at each hip - this pocket with its stunning 3-button detail flanks a faux pocket.
