This is a stunning Ben Zuckerman cocktail ensemble, consisting of a ivory satin sheath dress, very simply designed to allow the coat to shine.
The coat is a rich black velvet, with no closures and trimmed in astrakhan fur. It has a half belt and
is lined in ivory silk to match the dress.

This is a lovely 1950's Ben Zuckerman suit in black tweed, with a plain skirt and a long, double breasted jacket. The jacket is trimmed at the collar in fur, likely mink.
At this point in history, the suit ruled. Most women wore one on a daily basis, as it was suitable for shopping, town excursions, church, and work. This example would have been perfect for most daytime activities. A chiffon or silk blouse would be worn underneath and the suit would have been accessorised with a hat, gloves and appropriate jewellery.

This is a gorgeous, Spring-like Ben Zuckerman ensemble in a pale blue silk/wool blend. It is made up of a very lady like coat, with a wide collar, 3/4 length sleeves and pearl buttons. The dress has a dropped waist seam and is sleeveless.
This ensemble would have been a perfect Easter outfit- it would have been dressed up with a hat and white gloves.
