Frederick & Nelson
50s/60s Brown And White Cotton Gingham Dress Matching Coat$148.00
1950s or early 60s vintage matching set from Frederick & Nelson (department store) Seattle for their "sunning dale shop"
This two piece ensemble consists of a wiggle dress with short sleeves and gross grain ribbon at waist. It has zip and hook and eye closure up the back. The matching fully lined coat has 3/4 sleeves, ribbon trim, two pockets and a half belt at back accented with buttons. The coat has slight gathered accent at front and is open front - no closures. Coat has small shoulder pads inside lining, dress has no shoulder pads. Skirt of dress is lined, bodice is unlined.
The label is in the coat - the dress doesn't have label. The color is brown and white with very dark brown ribbon trim and large brown buttons on coat.
CONDITION: Very good vintage condition - a little discoloration to label (see pic) - otherwise it is in remarkable shape.
Fabric is not known - feels like cotton with a slight seersucker.
SIZE: NOT MARKED, FITS like a S in my opinion
