Preowned by Anna Moffo Sarno Excellent vintage condition. The set consists of two pieces.

Purple long sleeve turtleneck sweater with ribbed turtleneck 3" deep and three 1 1/4" gold nugget disk shaped buttons.

The sweater is 28" in length and has 8" long sleeves. The skirt is 34" in length with a 6" drop waist that then extends in tight pleated and flared skirt with a 13' high slit at the side.

The set is in excellent condition with no holes, balls or damage of any kind. I would suggest that the buttons be sewn on tighter. This comes from a smoke free environment.
