Pink Yellow Suit

A very long-line suit in pale yellow crepe, this short-sleeved suit was very much a hot weather outfit. The baby pink wide-brimmed Philip Somerville hat is pulled into the outfit by the matching pink on the jacket yoke and collar. The suit made a lot more appearances later without the hat.

The jacket and skirt are in a pale primrose accented by more pink in the buttons. The tight pleated skirt falls on the lower calf, and is perfect for middle-eastern countries, where modesty considerations dictate longer skirts and a more covered up look, even when in blistering hot weather.
