Early 70s/late 60s 3 piece knit skirt set with sleeveless top, flounced knee length skirt, and cardigan. Label: "R & K Knits - For the Girl Who Knows Clothes." Fiber content: 93% polyester, 7% linen. Size tag: 16 (vintage sizes run smaller than modern sizes, so please refer to measurements for actual fit). Store hang tag: "Flah's." The top zips at the back with a nylon zipper; the skirt features an elastic waistband with plenty of stretch, and flouncy panels; the cardigan buttons at the front with pearlized plastic buttons. This is a conservatively styled set for the 1970s, and likely designed for one of those newfangled women's libber office workers, or as a 'going to town/church' set. (Note the price: $58 hotsell in the early 70s was the equivalent of about $300 today!) The overall condition is near mint, unworn, with no visible flaws.
