60's Blue suit

Of course, I was inspired by "Joan" and wanted to make an early 60's style suit/dress. But I wanted separates that I could pair with other things. So I first made this skirt and then I made the top from a late 60's dress pattern They look good I think. Most people thought it was a dress and not 2 pieces, which is interesting. The top is too big (I used a larger pattern) so I need to take it in a bit. I prefer a very fitted/tailored look. I was going for a chic/ladies-who-lunch/60's-professional-dress look... but I'm feeling it is maybe a bit "old republican/first lady" kinda look. I suppose it is a very VERY fine line.
