From 1961, a pink Zuckerman suit in homespun wool with big crochet buttons. Also in Navy. $225.  This suit was sold at G. Fox & Co, of Hartford, Connecticut, which was a department store opened in 1847 and shut in 1993.

The suit is highly reminiscent of the suits worn by Jacqueline Kennedy during her time as first lady. Mrs Kennedy favoured suits with 3/4 length sleeves, large buttons and soft shoulders, all seen in this suit.
