Two isn't always better than one

I certainly don't expect perfection from Mary Worth insofar as all clothing being structurally accurate (such as all raglan sleeved tops having an unnecessary top shoulder seam) and I try not to let the fact that garments often drastically change over the course of a storyline drive me mad. However, sometimes wearables defy all reason, logic, reality, and taste. For instance, take this ghastly suit:




You may immediately notice the mandarin collar; this, however, is not a problem in and of itself. Everyone knows that Santa Royalites have managed to keep the mandarin collar a fashion forward detail since 1994 and when you stopped wearing them that it was you whose fashion sense regressed.

Anyways, the problem is that fact that this suit has two mandarin collars, intended to be worn stacked upon each other. I'm fairly certain that there is not a suit in the world that is comprised of (and in lavender, no less) a skirt, a jacket, and a quilted, possibly down, mandarin collar parka overcoat, all intended to be worn as one outfit. I feel pretty confident in my assertion that no suit such as this, past or present, has ever existed in reality. But if you can prove me wrong and track down a real example of this monstrosity, I will happily sew you one of the following classic Mary Worth outfits:

Option A: Casual weekender top with banded bottom and cuffs with matching "workout" accessory - made of 100% blended synthetic fibers

Option B: For the menfolk, slim fit electric blue track pants with double racing stripe paired with tan banded top, 1 size too small


Option C: Tailored easy-care purple outfit with 12-inch rise, darted, side-zip pants and johnny collar top, 100% double knit polyester
