    Hello. I’m a little stumped about this suit. I thought it might be from the 80s but I wasn’t sure about that side metal zipper. Thanks for your help!

    I forgot to include the lining, which looks and feels like some kind of chiffon. No other tags or labels.

    I haven’t been able to find any info on a Sample Shop in Niagara Falls but two newspaper articles written by locals about their lives in about 1956 mention a Sample Shop in Niagara Falls. A wiki article on the store doesn’t mention one in Niagara Falls but lots of other local places. I have no idea when the store opened or closed in the Falls.

    I would go early 60s - reminds me of the suit worn by Tippi Hendron in The Birds in 1963.
