Image Info

Pictured is a three-piece cream-colored rayon crepe suit which consists of a dress, jacket, and belt.

The dress has short sleeves and four large round mother-of-pearl buttons down the front to the waistband. It also has a large unstructured collar and four metal snaps on the left side. The fabric has a grid texture, and the skirt is long and straight with a crease on the left side.

The jacket features long sleeves and shares the same textured fabric as the dress. It has no closures or a collar, and its design includes raglan-style sleeves. The jacket can be attached to the dress via metal snaps located on the dress's shoulders.

The belt has the same texture and fastens with a celluloid bucket and metal snap.
