This is an absolutely gorgeous, early 1960s printed Emilio Pucci two piece set with a tie front halter top and a pair of incredible, wide leg matching pants. It is made of light, cotton jersey that has just a touch of nylon woven into it. This gives it a better drape, a touch of stretch and allowed the color to be more saturated and crisp. The pants are flat fronted with a wider cut, low set sling to the waist. They flow over the hips and then widen out to incredibly wide legs. Pucci loved to do this during this time period and it was a bit of a signature of his. It gives the pants the look of a full length skirt from the distance, but gives the girl wearing them the ease and comfort of a pant. The top just slips on and ties at the front. This design leaves the back totally bare except for the single strap across the back and around the neck. At the front you have a full, bare midriff. This is a very rare set. Excellent overall condition with a couple of small notes below

Both pieces are unlined. The top ties to close at the front and the pants close with a painted metal zipper and hook & eye and snaps at the waist. The bottom of each pant leg is a full 44" around. Hand finished. There is a small areas that has been taken in at the waist and a small square of fabric missing from the waist band - please refer to the photo provided. There is elastic in the waist but it seems to have been let out. You could tighten it to fit. There is a small smudge of color run on the front of one halter. Because of the extent of the finish you could move the tags to the other side and wear it the other way around if that bothered you. It gets lost in the print anyway but is noted and photoed. You could easily have the pants adjusted down if you are smaller. The fabric has some stretch
