1970s Vintage Gina Fratini Velvet Waistcoat & Maxi Skirt Co-Ord Size 6-8
A beautifully rich and unmistakably 1970s two-piece set by British designer Gina Fratini, crafted in a deep olive green velvet that catches the light with a soft, lustrous sheen. This is a truly elegant co-ord, combining a structured sleeveless waistcoat with a fluid, full-length maxi skirt, creating a silhouette that feels both tailored and effortlessly dramatic. The waistcoat features a clean, open-front design with gently curved lines and subtle shaping through the body, while the skirt falls in a long, sweeping line that enhances the natural movement of the velvet. The fabric has that signature vintage velvet depth — soft, weighty, and luxurious to the touch — with a muted earthy tone that feels both timeless and distinctly of its era. Gina Fratini was known for refined, feminine pieces with a high-end finish, and this set captures that perfectly, offering a rare opportunity to own a coordinated designer look from the period. Best suited to a modern UK size 6-8, based on the measurements provided, with the waistcoat fitting closer to a size 6 through the bust and the skirt sitting neatly at the waist. Style together for a striking, head-to-toe 70s look, or wear the pieces separately — the waistcoat layered over a sheer blouse or roll neck, and the skirt paired with a simple knit for an elevated everyday feel. In very good condition for its age, with only light, expected signs of wear.

MEASURED & READY TO WEAR
Carefully measured, described and prepared — no surprises.
At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)
We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture. Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.
We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
