Jackie O goes to Palm Beach, superb craftsmanship is obvious in this coat and shift set. Circa 1960’s, both pieces feature a back yoke, for a fitted bodice while each piece also has an exquisite back box pleat.
The material is heavy, cotton, upholstery type fabric, detailed with large palm trees similiar to Lilly Pulitzer. (Although there is no label, this set reminds us of her designs.)
Each piece is completely lined, dress in palest mint muslin, coat lined in mint colored, heavy nylon acetate.
A beautiful set that works well separately as well as together. Excellent condition.
