This terrific majorette outfit was made in the 1960s likely for a parade costume. It's pink and charcoal gray, a classic 1950s color combination, in traditional wool with bold braid to the jacket style top. Has a citation cord and decorative bands to the front, a cropped waist and classic tailoring. Hot pants are very high-waisted with matching pink stripes to the sides.
