Prominent Designer Mail Order Pattern A861
Original by Esther Reifer  
Misses' Sleeveless Sheath Dress and Shirt-Jacket
"In Esther Reifer’s talented hands, summer’s favorite fashion – the jacket dress – takes on a look of special chic. Unlike so many costumes you’ve seen, this American designer’s dress and jacket look smart together – yet the dress by itself is equally important fashion-wise. Wear the ensemble to town in the morning – wear the dress alone for dinner and dancing in the evening. Mrs Reifer made her Original in contrasting fabrics – the dress in dramatic black pique, the “shirt-tail” jacket in red and white corded cotton.”
