SCARCE VTG 70s BESPOKE Groovease Denim APPLIQUÉ 3Pc BELL BOTTOM SUIT Rock-n-Roll

Description

Rare, Vintage 1970’s Custom-Made 3-Piece "Bellbottom Blues" Denim Suit with both light/dark Denim Flame-Style Appliqué,
Sewn by Tom & Vivienne Scozzafava, 220 East 60th St., New York. Acquired from the estate of the original wearer, who at that time modeled in Manhattan. Jacket has Two Pockets & is Fully-Lined in Plaid Knit Jersey. The Vest has Plastic Figural Copper Indian Head Buttons, Jacket has Shield-Crest Plastic Buttons. Jacket has Deep Vents at the rear creating a near-Edwardian Revival Riding Jacket style. Not much information about the makers, other than they were extremely skilled with Appliqué & their garments were very pricey (noted in an article from New York Magazine, April, 1991). They incorporated this particular “Groovease” label in August, 1987 & it was dissolved a few months later.
Bell Bottom Pants measure Waist-27″, Hip-34″, Inseam-33 1/2″, diameter across the Bell-13 1/4″, Rise-12″. Vest Chest-36″, Waist-29″. Jacket Chest-36″, Waist-29″, Sleeve-23 1/2″, Shoulder seam to seam-14″, Length rear collar seam to hem-28″.
Jacket & Vest are in very good condition with normal wear, some small stains/spots, dirt at the inside crease of neckline & a dinge line down the sides of the arms along the seams. Vest has a light dinge under the right arm at rear with a light cluster of specks/small spots south of this. Pants show more wear, & have been taken in at waist as shown. A few small areas where the appliqué will have pops at the edges. Area at lower right leg where there’s a widespread light brownish outlined stain around the seam of the lower seat/crotch (both shown). I was unable to show all photos I have of the spots more particularly, on the jacket, so if you message me I will be happy to send them to you via ebay's message system, (but I think from these shown), you get the idea- Mama rocked pretty hard in this one, plenty a night on the town. I also have the Matching Hat, (which was also Custom made for this outfit), currently listed.
