This Betty Jackson two-piece set from the late 80s to early 90s features a lightweight cotton double-breasted top paired with a wraparound sarong skirt, both cut from the same distinctive novelty print used repeatedly by the designer during this period. The fabric is ultra light, almost translucent, giving the set an easy, airy quality that works particularly well in warm weather.
The top is softly structured with a double-breasted front, offering just enough shape while still feeling relaxed. The skirt wraps and ties at the waist, allowing for an adjustable fit and a more fluid silhouette through the body. Worn together, it reads as a considered, statement summer set; worn separately, each piece integrates easily into an existing wardrobe.
It’s the kind of outfit that moves effortlessly between settings, from beachwear layered over swimwear to something more styled for a summer garden party with sandals and jewellery. The print does the work, so the styling can stay simple.
