Fashion — 1936-1940
Jacket
During the 1930s London couturiers reformulated the suit, creating a versatile and feminine garment chic enough to wear in London but sufficiently sporty and understated for smart country events. This suit is unlabelled but the subtle use of stripes is typical of several London designers including Peter Russell and Victor Stiebel.
The tailored jacket opens at the front and is lined in brown synthetic(?) lining fabric. Red tacking thread is visible from some of the darts and seams.
