This beautiful Ben Zuckerman outfit is from the 1950's. It is made of silk in an arty, painterly floral pattern. The dress has a typical 50's fitted waist and full skirt with a belt to highlight the waistline. The coat also has a full skirt. This outfit would have been worn to a wedding perhaps, or to go to church- it would have been worn with a co-ordinating hat and naturally, with little white gloves.

This is quite an unusual Ben Zuckerman outfit- it's made up of a dress and jacket and dates from the mid 1960's.

The outfit is made of a thick wool with a subtle ribbing.  Whilst it looks like there is a skirt and waistcoat, this is just a design feature- it's actually a dress.
