Floral dress & brown sleeveless coat
Jean Knight always wore Michael Mattar's designs, and frequently travelled to visit him in his store in Taumaranui. As well as buying his clothes for herself, she purchased large numbers to sell in her own store, Monaco Gowns, in Te Awamutu. Jean won 'best dressed' at the races one year wearing a Michael Mattar outfit.
