Prominent Designer M248; ca. 1960s; Don Loper - Misses' Suit It's the side-buttoned look as West Coast design wizard Don Loper does it - sleek, slim, effortlessly elegant. Not the impeccable cut of the jacket from curved collar to smart, buttoned sleeve detail. Note the important skirt shaping - three buttons above a deep pleat (good-looking and no zipper!). Printed Pattern M248 is unlimited in versatility - it can be a day or dinner ensemble depending on whether or not you line it. Choose Dacron, cotton ottoman, wool jersey, flannel OR the opulence of velveteen, matelasse or brocade.
