Walking costume for the early autumn of tomato-red herringbone frieze.  The skirt, with pleated front panel, is trimmed at the foot with velvet of a darker shade, the upper edge of which is cut in scallops on which is laid a narrow silk galon of a lighter shade.  The bolero, which is the very latest cut, is trimmed in the same way, and has a novel waist-belt fastened to the fronts on either side by an enamelled button.  The shirt is of thick cream silk serge, with a frilled front and turned-down silk collar, with which a black satin bow cravat is worn.  The bolero is kept in place by narrow cord fastenings, which buttons on to the skirt by means of small gilt buttons.  The toque is of the same velvet trimmed with wings of crinkled ribbon of a darker shade and a bunch of mountain ash berries at the side.

Condition is Very Good.
