Description: An easy, put-together outfit: Really cool vintage BABETTE* San Francisco (the shuttered San Francisco-based designer brand) 2-piece suit set: a pair of muted turquoise crinkle-pleated wide-leg pants with vertical pleats and a matching v-neck jacket/top with horizontal creases across vertical pleats. (Babette--along with Issey Miyake--was known for her experimentation with and production of pleated fabrics.) NOTE: Although labeled different sizes, both pieces—the top and pants are more like a size 8, and because of the stretchy nature of the pleats in both pieces, there is give. The pants are a women's size XS (these run a bit larger because of the stretch of the pleats--they fit me, a size 8--see measurements below,) and are made of a polyester crepe woven fabric. They feature an elasticized waist, and snap and zipper closure. The jacket/ top has a v-neckline with 4 tiny black snaps (a Babette hallmark) down the front, and can be worn with or without a cami underneath. The top features long sleeves and is made of the same polyester microfiber crepe as the pants. It is a size M—and again, fits me like a size 8—see measurements below for best fit. Made in U.S.A. Showing little wear, the 2-piece set is in excellent pre-owned, vintage condition--"art to wear."

Pinsky owned and managed the business in partnership with her husband, Steven Pinsky. They closed the business in 2016." *About Babette from SF Gate 4/2008: "The core Babette customer is arty and well traveled, with an income sizable enough to afford a $260 top or a $450 coat. The forgiving nature of the fabric and the simple silhouettes of her pieces work on most frames. "You can walk into my dressing room and there will be a 6-foot-tall woman and little mini thing, and they can both wear the same outfit."
