Nope, they were from a company that went out of business.
However, I've gained some weight recently, so almost none of my suits currently fit. :eusa_doh: Time for a diet...

Thanks a bunch! You are looking at a small part of my collection from 27 years of collecting women's suits.
I used to wear them to work all the time. However, it's gotten kind of expensive to dry clean, so I don't wear them so much anymore.
When I start wearing them again regularly, I'll post more pics. I'm a suit gal. I have a very large suit collection. I have some great ones I haven't posted yet, so you can look forward to them in the future.

No it isn't, but somewhere on the Lounge, there is an entire discussion on that subject - whether this suit was a man's converted suit. It was decided that it wasn't a converted suit, just a ladies suit copied in the men's fashion of the period. [huh]
Most men commented this is the first ladies suit they have seen with a skeleton interior.

Being local to San Francisco, I have a few I.Magnin jackets and a couple suits, I think. I'll post when I am able.
But you are absolutely right. vintage I.Magnin = Class.

Ooooh! I'd be honored! Now I just have to lose 20+ pounds to get back into one of these suits, and than I have to figure out which hat and gloves to wear...:eusa_doh:

Those are truly wonderful suits, but that first one - the reproduction cream with black trim - is nothing short of spectacular. Of course, we want to see more!

I found some more suit pics...
And if you are a petite woman with up to a size 34" bust, American size 4 or smaller (MissHannah are you reading this?), feel free to drop me a line. I've grown out of some of these suits and am going to be selling them off.

Yes it was a spectacular piece of my wardrobe...until I sold it on ebay recently. I just couldn't lose enough weight to fit into it, and decided to start selling my size 4 suits. It's just too frustrating to see them sitting there in my closet and I can't wear them! :cry:

I gave up on that idea. I started selling my tiny suits instead.

I sold this on ebay last year or the year before. This was another suit that no longer fit me.
