ORANGE ZIP
Finally got one of my personal ‘Holy Grail’ outfits ever since I started collecting Francie; - The Sears exclusive ‘Orange Zip’ from 1968. It was the only Sears exclusive Francie outfit offered that year, but what an outfit! The combination of zingy orange vinyl, (the cut of that zip-front coat is so amazing, with all those intricate topstitched details!) and that funky striped knit top is far-out … I always thought that it needed a belt, so I added the blue belt from the later 1971 Francie outfit ‘Zig-Zag Zoom’ for the perfect finishing touch. REALLY happy with how it all looks, especially on my brunette no-bangs Francie, whom I always wanted to dress in this. Even though she is from a few years later than when this outfit was released, her bouffant-ish flip pulled back by her orange headband looks so late 60s to me!
