Macy Blue Serge FrOck, Wool
Embroidered

In this model we have one of the
first of the peculiar combinations
produced by wool embroidery on
satin or silken texture. The body
of the gown is of navy blue serge,
while a satin apron depends from
the low hip line. The satin is wool
embroidered, also the garniture of
satin, which forms a suggested
bolero. This gown buttons down
the back and has a drapery of the
blue serge falling from the hustle
line. The sleeves are entirely plain
and button half way to the elbow.
