Black and White Suit
Geoffrey Beene
1990
Color blocking and careful patternmaking create this attention-grabbing pert little suit. The collar shape is an inset seam that lies flat across the body; it then curves gently up to circle the neck. The dolman sleeve creates a soft line over the shoulder. A simple vertical waist dart, a waist seam, and a fitted peplum shape the jacket to the body.
