The Lucie Ann label was mainly lingerie but in the 60s and 70s diversified into a few clothing pieces here and there. You don' see them as often but when you do they are usually pretty great. They have this campy, sexy starlet feel to them and this little jumpsuit is a perfect example of just that. It is a bit of a rarity and quite fabulous and just plain fun - I was pretty excited to find it! It is made of an emerald green crepe and is shaped and sculpted to follow the curves of the body. In some ways it has a really simple cut with a V neck front, cinched wait and skinny pants legs. However, it also has the most insane ruffled finishes that take it straight over the top and make it one of those pieces you only luck into in the vintage world. It has ruffled cuffs and a ruffled front that runs down the front of each leg from the waist, wraps around the cuff and then back up the calf to end in a bow. The effect is just crazy but fabulous. Presents as excellent condition with a couple of small items to note below.
Fully lined in green tissue silk and closes at the back with a painted metal zipper. There is a small area of darkening to the fabric just above the bow at the back of one leg and there is an area of darkening (slight) across the top of each shoulder. Its very wearable as is and priced accordingly.
