Ladies Coats from "The Tailor and Cutter" (1939)

The Tailor and Cutter was a trade magazine for (you guessed it!) tailors.  Published in Great Britain it mostly specialised in custom made menswear, but it also touched on tailored clothing made for women.  The images below are from one of two supplements to The Tailor and Cutter published in late 1939.  The men's supplement has a number of natty officer's uniforms illustrated, but at this early stage of the Second World War the "Ladies Supplement" only depicts civilian clothes.
