This dress and matching belt are printed with a delightful pattern that celebrates the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle. The print features images of the Space Needle, Monorail, arches of the US Science Pavilion, and plumes of water spraying from the International Fountain. Gerry Abbott, who also created fashion illustrations for the Seattle Times, drew sketches for the pattern. These garments are from a series of World’s Fair themed dresses and separates made in Seattle by Foster-Hochberg Manufacturing. The print was done in three colors schemes—green and blue like this one; yellow, orange and brown; and pink, red and blue. In the 1950s and 1960s, Foster-Hochberg was one of Seattle’s leading clothing manufacturers, specializing in casual sportswear for women and teen girls. This dress was from their “Sailmates” line.
