A Ben Zuckerman coat in black, from 1957. The suit is perfectly accessorised with white gloves, a ladylike white hat and a large corsage at the neckline. There are three large buttons, and what appears to be a velvet collar. The coat has feminine seaming, curving over the bust to the waist. I would imagine that this coat cost in the range of $300, which would have made it a significant investment in 1957.
