There is a matching applique which is sewn to the center front of the bodice. The bodice is sleeveless and gives a nice accent to the long sleeves which extend through the opening. The skirt if fairly staight and has a few wider pleats at the waistline to give it some width. The belt is decorated with brown material rosettes and brown ribbon. Attached to the closure is a large brown material flower with an orange material center.
Brown ribbons fall in loops from the flower.
Another important look for the early 1900 s was the walking suit. The jacket is fitted through the waistline and nicely decorated with ivory and brown trim. Notice the use of buttons as an added decorative touch in both the front and the back of both the jacket and skirt. The skirt is gored with a wide horizontal pleat at the bottom and two rows of buttons down the front. The dress is done entirely in black lace.
