Suit

American

Not on view

As menswear modifies the bodice of this suit to an almost military correctness, so, too, menswear also contributes the lively, practical summer material of seersucker. Its natural puckering does not disturb the stiff silhouette of the era, but may allow a meager breath of air and light color to women still constrained by corset and structure.
