Antique 1920s Chinese Pongee Silk Jumpsuit

'20s Chinese Pongee Silk Jumpsuit. made front a delicate and tissue thin pongee raw silk. trimmed with baby pink. snaps up the side. best fit S/M - please leave room when comparing measurements, this is meant to fit on the loose side.

the print in this piece dominantly represents the Chinese characters of Shòu (meaning longevity) and Fú (meaning happiness, blessings, and good fortune). There are many symbols of good luck featured in the print such as peaches, scrolls, and butterflies. it is very common for Shòu to be represented in garments and textiles - and it is often accompanied by flowers as we see here!

overall good shape for its age, has some seam stress and wear on the crotch and inner legs. some seam stress near the snaps and one area of wear where the snaps are. a few small holes along a couple seams. wearable with care as this is a very thin and delicate old fabric. i would recommend getting the seams professionally repaired for the garments longevity. sold as-is.
