An ad from the 30 Nov 1951 Chicago Daily Tribune.

'You've worn white before, but never like this. The white look is the first look of fashion in 1952-here now in the most exciting resort wear. The double breasted suit by Ben Zuckerman, entirely lined with rayon taffeta. Breath taking waist, padded hipline, full skirt, black silk shantung bow. White wool-and-rayon sharkskin in size 12. $245.'

This suit was available from Marshall Fields 28 Shop which was an exclusive department of the very best in fashions from around the world.
