Costumes Parisiens 119: Robes de promenade
Illustration with a design for two "promenade dresses", part of the 53rd issue of the "Journal des dames et des modes", published in Paris on November 10, 1913. The illustration features two women wearing outfits made up of matching jacket and skirt, white shirts with pleated necks, hats and other accessories. One of them wears a purple outfir with brown fur in the jacket borders and cuffs, and holds a bag on one hand, while reading a letter to her friend. The other wears a red jacket with black fur border and an olive green skirt, a fur scarf around her neck, and holds a muff with a floral pattern and fur borders on her arm. They are both walking past a bundle of flowers and leaves.
