Skirt & gilet trimmed with ribbon
The late Edna Coutts had a large wardrobe of El Jay garments such as a 1968 cinnamon-coloured dress with fur trim. She was a good friend of Gus Fisher, and her sister Vena Luke was a favourite house model at El Jay in the 1950s. Read more about Gus Fisher and the El Jay label in the New Zealand Fashion Museum publication Looking Terrific: The story of El Jay.
