Continental, which featured an onboard Pink Cloud Buffet Bar, issued this summer uniform from 1967 to 1970. Made in a rose pincord blend, the short sleeve jumper is pleated at the front and has a collarless neckline. The semi-fitted jacket with bracelet sleeves has a brooch depicting a Boeing SST for the insignia. Notably, the white straw beret of synthetic fiber is paired in contrast to the suit instead of a matching color. At the suggestion of actress Audrey Meadows, who was married to company president Robert Six, Continental’s hostesses received pearls upon their graduation to wear with the uniform. See more uniforms from Continental on display, in "#FashionInFlight: A History of Airline Uniform Design", located, pre-security, in the Aviation Museum and Library and the Main Hall of the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/fashioninflight Continental Airlines hostess uniform 1967 Collection of United Airlines Archive Jacket insignia: Courtesy of Suzanne Cook Necklace: Courtesy of Roselea and Renee Richards L2016.0311.002.01-.03, L2016.0315.001, L20016.0321.001
