VTG 1970s Young Edwardian Sweater Skirt Set Striped Bell Sleeve Boho M/L
This VTG 1970s Young Edwardian two-piece sweater suit captures the essence of Boho, Retro Chic, and Studio 54 earthy glam. What you’ll love about this set is the unique horizontal stripes in tan, brown, burgundy, and rust that give it effortless retro appeal. I love that it doesn’t look like anything you’ll see on someone else — it’s truly one-of-a-kind vintage. The bell sleeve sweater and A-line skirt make it as versatile as it is striking.
