Crisp and elegant as a pair of white gloves on Grace Kelly, this never worn, textured white "wiggle" dress from the 1950s and its matching swing coat make a lovely set. The original hangtag tells us that the "linen-like" white fabric is a blend of cotton, rayon and acetate. The sleeveless, fitted dress has a square neckline in front and back, cute hip pockets, and dainty pearl beading on the bodice. It is unlined and closes with a back metal zipper. Unlike the narrow silhouette of the dress underneath, the matching coat has a full, swingy shape. The cute, pointed collar is wired inside to keep it standing upright. The short sleeves have equally pointy, diagonal cuffs. The coat is lined in palest pink taffeta.
