Dating from the tail end of Ben Zuckerman's career- this is an interesting ensemble.
The skirt appears to be long, and at this point (1966) skirts were decidedly short. There is a double breasted vest and a jacket, accessorised by gloves. This outfit would have been perfect for a more mature lady who had no interest in miniskirts.

This is a gorgeous, summery Ben Zuckerman suit in a green and orange brocade. It has a simple skirt and a sleeveless jacket with green plastic buttons. This suit probably dates from the mid 1960's as it has a certain Jackie O feel to it. The suit was probably worn for cocktails or perhaps dinner.

This is a Ben Zuckerman coat, in ivory wool with a tight waist and full skirt. It is made from Anglo Fabrics- an American mill that produced very fine fabrics.

Here is a super feminine and very lovely Ben Zuckerman suit dating from February 1955. It is very fitted and is worn beautifully by model Anne St. Marie.

What a fantastic Ben Zuckerman ensemble! Made of a heavy wool in a pale colour, it consists of 3 pieces.
There is a slim fitting skirt and a top, perhaps short sleeved and self-belted. The outstanding piece is a cocoon shaped cape lined in a black fur with fur lapels.
