Maker: Jill Richards for Garfinkles (Washington, DC) .According to the Vintage Fashion Guild label resource, Richards was known as “Ruffles Richards” for her feminine clothing in luxe fabrics.
Condition: Very good. Please note, There was a stain on the pant lining that would not lift (and was visible under the top layer), so I hemmed the lining to bermuda length. There are a few light marks along the hem that did not lift. See photos. Freshly hand soaked and line dried, arrives clean and ready to wear.
Measurements: The measurements below are the actual measurements of the garment. Please allow for ease. Whenever possible the best way to insure a good fit is by comparing the measurements to that of a similar garment in your closet.
