 This lovely Ben Zuckerman cocktail dress in silk is from the 1960's- it's a classic take on the shorter, more modern looks of the 1960's.

From 1965- Tight worsted twill, in the shade of sunlit sand, used superbly for a double-breasted coat- narrow perfection of shape with a back belt, a heavy front of white linen over a deep notched collar. Of Anglo fabric. Masterwork of one of America's great tailors- Ben Zuckerman.

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.
