Of course, it doesn't have to be a jacket with a skirt to add up to a suit, it can be with a dress too, like this lovely design from 1951 by Mollie Parnis.

And, for a woman, a suit doesn't have to be made in the same fabric top to bottom, like this one by Balmain in 1949.

The most classic of suits. With small variations, this style can be found in most decades.

A more outrageous design that probably wasn't worn by the average woman. It's nice, though.
