Vintage WWII American Red Cross suit

My family and I went to the military preparedness museum at Djuramosse the other day. They had an event with WWII reenactment.

I met a lovely lady from England who wore an original American Red Cross summer suit.

 

She looked stunning!

I’ve made some research and the suit is made of light gray wool/rayon fabric. Notice how the seams on the front shapes the jacket!
Please visist Shirley Powers site to learn more!

The skirt has six gores and a lapped zipper at the side seam.

 

 

Lovely buttonhole!
