Take a trip back to the golden age of air travel with this incredible collection of authentic vintage Continental Airlines stewardess uniforms from the early 1970s!
Featuring bold geometric prints, vibrant orange and red stripes, oversized collars, and coordinating separates, this collection captures the unmistakable style of the jet-set era. My mom was a flight attendant for Continental for many years--these items are some of her first uniforms.
The collection includes 11 individual garments:
- 4 long-sleeved blouses featuring a cream background with vibrant red, orange, and yellow geometric designs.
- 3 short-sleeved uniform dresses in coordinating prints and solid red-orange.
- 2 sleeveless dresses, including a striking striped design.
- 2 red-orange skirts featuring front zippers, decorative buttons, and oversized patch pockets.
The pieces can be mixed and matched to create several coordinated vintage stewardess looks.
Perfect for collectors, costume designers, vintage fashion enthusiasts, theatrical productions, or an unforgettable group Halloween costume! Imagine a group of friends dressed as an authentic 1970s Continental Airlines flight crew!
