Spotlight on Vintage: 1940's Novelty Print Suit

We literally squealed with glee when this 1940's suit arrived from America. Novelty prints are hugely popular with vintage followers and they can be quite rare.
This gorgeous little number features a silk print of Art Deco style sports people.... random right?

But that's the joy of novelty prints. They became fashionable in the 1940's and 50's possibly as a form of whimsical expression after the fraught and lenient war years. 
This suit has a chic brown cropped jacket with a printed pussy bow closure. It's an absolute darling! We've added a pair of 1950's chartreuse, ruched gloves in one picture that compliments the print itself.
