A shawl collar around a high v-neckline marks the starting point of a line of six buttons. Quarter circle embellishments highlight the functional waist pockets and the faux bodice pockets. Inside, the jacket is butterfly lined so as to be suitable for summer, and has a retailer’s label for Sosnick Thalhimers and a maker’s label for the Duchess Royal Suit. The skirt has a rear box kick pleat and a metal side zipper with top button fastening.
