Two lovely Zuckerman suits from the 13 January 1952 New York Times.

The left suit 'Here is the type of jacket that barely covers the hips. Accenting the rounded hips is the crossed and buttoned closing. The neckline finishes in a narrow mandarin band collar. The belling, gored skirt is a favorite in the Zuckerman collection is taffeta lined. The suit is of beige Rodier wool. About $245.'

The right suit 'The longer jacket in navy wool (Forstmann) fastened with a single row of buttons. The neckline is made with a new treatment- the collar ending in scarf tabs which cross and tie at the throat. The gored skirt is lined with taffeta to hold out its flared hemline. About $255.'
