Woman’s Suit, c.1919-20
Unknown Artist
Wool gabardine, lining of printed silk satin
Masculine tailored styles were first adopted for outdoor activities, such as walking and cycling.
Here, the intricate design of the skirt has an asymmetrical drape at the side fastening. Buttons are used as both as a practical and a decorative device. The colourful silk lining forms a contrast with the sober exterior.
1919-1920
