It's sad women's suits don't have this much design or class put into them anymore.
By the way you look great retrogirl1941

I have this one (originally printed in 1947):

I really love grey but I wear quite a lot of it already, I'm not sure about brighter colours but I saw Kitten Von Mew (she's a pinup model) wearing a pale blue suit that she looked gorgeous in.
