Costumes Parisiens 102: Robe de linon à double runique de tulle brodé ; Petite casaque à revers de satin
Illustration for a white linen dress with an embroidered tunic and jacket with satin lapels, part of the 45th issue of the "Journal des dames et des modes", published on August 20, 1913. The illustration consists of a woman wearing a white, linen double tunic, made with white linen and embroidered white tulle, narrow at the ankles and featuring a small ribbon bow hanging from the frontal border of the skirt. Over the tunic, the woman wears a short jacket, with tree-quarter sleeves decorated with tiny green tassels, and featuring a green satin gilet, from which the ruffled border that makes the neckline of the tunic emerges. A black belt with green and clear stones is tied around the jacket and the woman's waist. She wears matching white hat, with a black band and a large, white feather, white high heels with green buckles, and a ring with a large, green stone on one hand. She wears pink blush on her cheeks, and holds a white daisy onone hand, pulling out its petals and throwing them to the floor with the other. She seems to be on a garden, standing on a gray platform close to a short bush with white flowers of the type she holds in her hand.
