American Fashions – Autumn 1904

A woman with blond-red hair stands in three-quarter view with her face in profile to display her suit. She models a bias-cut turquoise and black plaid suit. The fitted jacket has tan lapels and cuffs, and a matching band trims the hem of the skirt. The jacket has long snug sleeves that reach below her wrists, with a slight fullness at the armhole, very wide tan lapels with black top stitching, a black velvet collar, a peplum, and three diamond shaped buttons on each side.

She wears a diaphanous turquoise blouse with a very high collar, and a bow at the neck, with long hanging ruffled ends. The skirt is gored, flaring into a trumpet shape with a slight train. She wears white gloves and a turquoise hat with tan ostrich feathers and a black bow on the upturned brim. behind at the right is a small back view of the suit.
