This week's Women with Hats shows a photo postcard of a woman in a tailored walking suit. The coat is hip length, notched at the lapel and has three buttons. There seems to be a button or other decoration at the waist of the coat. The skirt also has buttons that appear to match the jacket. The blouse is beautiful, somewhat sheer with a necktie and standing collar. She is wearing white kid gloves and carrying a small, beaded purse with a chain handle. She is also wearing eyeglasses. Her hair seems to be pulled up into a bun on the top of her head as was popular for the era. I believe this photo to be dated between 1909 and 1914 although I am unsure about the hat. She is not identified and there is no photographer named as well.
I like this gal! She looks smart without looking stuffy. And she has a beaded purse. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI thought she looked a little more down-to-earth than some of the other of the time.
