Braniff Uniforms to be Auctioned

Filed under: Auctions

Mary Sue Seibold remembers how glamorous she felt when she started to work for Braniff International Airlines in the early 1960s. The uniforms were multi-layered affairs, by designers like Emilio Pucci and Halston, and their unveiling at the beginning of each flight was as good as any fashion show. During the course of the 20 years she worked for the airline, she collected the uniforms that she wore and stashed them away. She has decided to put her collection of 19 complete uniforms up for auction. The collection has 86 pieces, including accessories like boots, handbags and hats, and will be sold as one unit by Chelsea Marketeers in June of this year. The minimum bid is $100,000.
