Vintage Lillie Rubin & Nolan Miller 2-piece Set with Art Deco Beading
A sophisticated and glamorous vintage two-piece suit set, featuring a structured jacket and a coordinating satin tank top. The set is comprised of two high-end American labels often retailed together: Lillie Rubin (Jacket) and Nolan Miller (Tank).
This ensemble embodies the powerful, dressed-up aesthetic of the late 1980s and early 1990s, perfect for formal occasions, cocktail hours, or black-tie events.
The Jacket (Lillie Rubin):
Fabric & Structure: Crafted from luxurious 100% Black Wool for a structured, substantial feel. It features the sharp, slightly padded shoulders characteristic of the era.
Beaded Shawl Collar: The showstopping feature is the pointed shawl collar, lavishly hand-detailed with micro-black seed beads in a dramatic, swirling Art Deco/Rococo-inspired pattern.
Body Details: The jacket has a gently nipped waist, a single button closure (detailed with a beaded rosette), and beautiful cutaway pockets, each trimmed with a matching scrollwork bead design.
The Tank Top (Nolan Miller):
Fabric & Design: A simple, elegant 100% Polyester black satin tank top designed to be worn beneath the jacket.
Beaded Trim: The straight-cut neckline is embellished with a partial border of the same signature black beading and scrollwork, seamlessly tying the two pieces together.
This vintage suit set offers versatile sophistication—wear the pieces together for a complete black-tie look, or style them separately to elevate modern separates.
