Afternoon Ensemble, Auteil, spring 1960

The jacket of this striking ensemble is open at center back from shoulder blade to hem, offering glimpses of the fitted dress beneath when the wearer moves. Her Majesty selected it from Balmain’s regular spring 1960 collection, where it was shown in green instead of white and black polka dots.
