Circa 1980s Ian Thomas Bouclé Skirt Suit with Contrasting Knit Trim

By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen

This regal British bouclé suit by Ian Thomas—personal couturier to Queen Elizabeth II—channels the commanding elegance of the 1980s with undeniable flair. Woven in richly textured bouclé with tones of cardinal red, plum, navy, and flecks of gold, the fabric has dimensional depth and couture weight.

The jacket is cut in a refined cardigan style with bold red knit trim defining the neckline, hem, and cuffs. Four high-sheen plastic buttons in red and violet punctuate the front, adding a glossy modern accent. The coordinating pencil skirt completes the silhouette with timeless restraint—lined, vented, and tailored to move with ease.

An exquisite example of British court fashion in the power-dressing decade, this is couture made not just to impress, but to endure.
