I always enjoy these ads from Bergdorf Goodman. The artwork is superb and the wording is beautifully descriptive. Today, "The Capelet Costume" from February, 1964. Sold for $160 (about $1,170 in today's dollar.)
"The Capelet Costume...full-of-flair and elegant bravado. Watch this shape-in-the-news sweep South and into Spring '64, a beautiful balance of crisply-controlled width and eased slenderness. Adele Simpson flings the breezy little silk-lined cape over a dress of matching rayon Fibranne, its waistline lashed with a sliver of leather. Navy with vivid green lining and belt, sea green with turquoise, gold nugget with black or black with gold nugget. Sizes 6 to 16. From our Plaza Collections, Fourth Floor."
I do think I'd have to choose sea green with turquoise lining and belt. How about you?
