Story:
"Junior House" (Milwaukee, WI) was a staple of American fashion in the 50s and 60s. Don't let the name fool you—"Junior" referred to a specific fit (shorter waist, higher bust), not age. Finding all three pieces of a set like this intact after 60 years is uncommon. This ensemble captures the transition from the structured 50s to the glitzy texture of the late 60s.
