Women's blouse-and-trousers suits (1)

Blouse-and-trousers suits were typical casual wear for women in the early 20th century. Adopting a simplistic style, the garment no longer features embroidery. The suits tend to have light colour tones, with light purple, pale green, and pastel blue being the most popular. Rather than heavily decorated borders, simple bindings are featured instead.
