my 40s suit: here I am wearing a vintage Lillie Ann Skirtsuit. Lilli Ann was started in San Francisco in 1933 by Adolph Schuman, naming his company for his wife, Lillian. The company became known for their beautiful, elaborately designed suits and coats. After WWII, Schuman went to France and it was during this time that the labels had “Paris” added to them. This suit most likely dates from the late forties with a high waisted skirt, short jacket and a huge black velvet portrait collar. The jacket has an attached bow at the back, very cute! now I just need to go out for tea….

…let’s hope!

The time is nigh to join the blog and the store, this will help everyone to really connect with the Covet Ranch and hopefully be a bit of fun.
