From the 1 August, 1958 Vogue- 'New decisions for belts: the soft shape.'

Belted- but not with a vengeance. And that's the point: high, low or waist level, the newest belt in circulation is the one that circulates softly.

A belt that starts a touch above the waistline- and rises slightly. The dress,in a fabric that's news itself- a flow of supple heavy French silk jersey, navy blue. By Ben Zuckerman, about $225. Saks Fifth Avenue, Julius Garfinkel, Sakowitz. New measure of a hat: a tall red velours Directoires cap by Emme.

An early 1960s Ben Zuckerman suit. The wool suit is double breasted with gold tone buttons and a brown velvet collar. There are also gold tone buttons on the cuffs and pockets at the waist.

You can see from some of the pictures just how much work went into making a Zuckerman suit. Every seam is finished. The suit is fully lined.  Zuckerman was truly a master tailor.

An advertisement for Martha's, the exclusive boutique with locations in New York, Palm Beach,  and Miami Beach.

Ben Zuckerman was to make a personal appearance in the Palm Beach store on 18 January, 1963 to show his complete collection of suits, coats and dresses. Shown in the ad was a graphite French flannel vest with a French plaid chiffon dress, $385.00.

From 1961- a very pale green suit by Ben Zuckerman. This suit was inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy, who was First Lady at this time. She favoured suits with simple details, slightly boxy fit and three-quarter length sleeves, all of which can be seen in this suit.

A Zuckerman suit in a teal . It features 3 buttons and a futher button at the neck which is missing and has been replaced by a brooch. There is interesting seaming seen in the lower picture. The suit is a heavy, thick wool.

The suit also bears the label Ann Sunshine-Naomi Wise, Cleveland Heights. This was probably a local boutique, though I have not been able to find out any futher information about it.

From the 18 February, 1967 Palm Beach Daily News-'Zuckerman Collection is the Highlight of Party.'

A special party was held by the president of Bonwit Teller, Miss Mildred Custin, to honour Ben Zuckerman. Several hundred people attended.

First seen were wool coats, in pastel followed by masterfully tailored navy suits. Dresses and coats were belted. The finale was a series of late day dresses in white and pastel silk crepe.

Pictured above is a double breasted coat in pastel wool piped with white.

Below is Ben Zuckerman at the show, seated between Miss Custin and Estee Lauder.

From the July 15, 1959 Reading Eagle- a Zuckerman fitted coat in black and white popcorn tweed with a large fur collar.

Of course the model is perfectly accessorized, with matching gloves, shoes and belt and an appropriate hat. To be considered properly dressed at this time, all these elements were needed.
