The Costume Museum’s 1919 Strike display will feature fashions that a working person might wear. I imagine that a head housekeeper might wear something like this on her half day.
The shirtwaist paired with this coat and skirt is wonderful!
The insertions and embroidery are so pretty! I’m not sure insertions is the right word for that kind of work in the open spaces. May be cutwork embroidery is a better term? Comments and corrections are welcome!
