1960s Bergdorf Goodman Whiten Linen Dress and Jacket Set

From the Closet of: Lilah Ramzi Label: Bergdorf Goodman on the Plaza Era: 1960s Size: Small / Medium About the Item: An elegant example of midcentury New York dressing, this ivory two-piece ensemble bears the original Bergdorf Goodman on the Plaza label. The sleeveless sheath dress features a rounded neckline, subtle gathers across the bust, and a straight, knee-length silhouette, with two clever flap details at the hips. A row of decorative buttons down the upper back adds an unexpected finishing touch. The coordinating cropped jacket has a neat pointed collar, three-quarter-length sleeves, and five pearlescent buttons down the front. Cut from a beautifully textured, linen-like fabric, the ensemble has a crisp, tailored quality that feels quintessentially 1960s. Wear the pieces together for a polished luncheon or garden party, or style the dress on its own for a more understated look. About the Label: Founded in New York in 1899, Bergdorf Goodman became one of America's most prestigious luxury department stores, celebrated for its discerning selection of designer fashion and exceptional personal service. In 1928, the store moved to its landmark Fifth Avenue location at 58th Street, overlooking the Plaza Hotel. Its historic “On the Plaza” label recalls an era when Bergdorf Goodman was synonymous with sophisticated New York dressing, offering beautifully made clothing to a clientele that included socialites, actresses, and some of the city's most fashionable women.
