Silver Lame Jumpsuit Yellow Long Coat with Silver Trim Yellow Pilgrim Shoes
This totally mod ensemble is another version of Barbie's hostess pajamas
(what jumpsuits were called then) with a dress or coat over them.
This
version features really cool silver lame for the jumpsuit (or pajamas) with
a silver braid & yellow trim at the waist. The front of the pants legs
have a notched hem. I suspect this jumpsuit was inspired by the space
program popularity of this era.
The long yellow coat has coordinating
silver trim and 2 bow closures made of yellow ribbon.
This is not the
easiest ensemble to find - the coat is found much more often than the
jumpsuit, because the tricot fabric of the silver jumpsuit is very delicate
and prone to discoloration or fading.
