Created for TWA by knitwear maker Dalton Apparel, this uniform was introduced in the summer of 1968 and worn until 1971. Made of Trevira polyester, the green collarless jacket has dropped cuffs. The short-sleeve dress, worn with a green tapered belt, has a plaid skirt with a front kick pleat and a solid top with collar. An attached neckerchief with a ring matches the skirt. "Fashion In Flight: Airline Uniform Design" is on display, pre-security, in the Aviation Museum. http://bit.ly/FashionInFlight1 Image: Trans World Airlines hostesses, 1968.
