Vintage Edwardian Walking Suit

Raleigh Vintage

This late Edwardian / early 1920s suit is a classic!  Lightweight dark navy blue wool.  The jacket is a longer length with a single button closure.  It is decorated with a perma-pleat band that runs up the back, down the front, and turns to trim the pockets. It is fully lined with printed silk.  The straight skirt has a side snap closure and is unlined.
