Turbo Orlon! 50’s Set?

My first thought when picking up this outfit was - 50’s. There’s an odd size (18) on it - and it is more like a size 4. I like the “Turbo Orlon” tag. Am I right on the 50's? Or is it 60's? Or... later?

Very sweet set! Are they acorns? I'm leaning towards late 50s, but it could be a cusper.

Hmmm - I never thought about acorns .... just a floral design ... Do you think these are acorns? Or even grapes! ???

They appear to be clusters of grapes! (The pearls-as-grape-bunch motif shows up in lots of mid century costume jewelry).

Lovely set--and it looks 50s to me, too. (Though I know my limitations and won't commit to which part of the decade... )

I am thinking 50s, too. Who had a couple of sets like this recently???

I would say 50s...that 3/4 sleeve length was popular then and the peter pan collar too!

Very sweet suit and never used!

I would say late 50s-early 60s. It can be hard to tell with more conservative styles - and I vote for grapes too.
