As in earlier decades, these suits from 1923 are still a comprised of skirts and jackets—but they are no longer styled in imitation of menswear. Instead they are cut on fashionable lines with asymmetric closings, applied ornamentation and flared and batwing sleeves.
On the far left:
"The carefully tailored silk-lined Coat is a fashionable straight line box model with flare sleeves and link-button fastening. Heavy twist stitching and buttons trim sleeves, pockets and lower edge of back."
On the lower centre left:
"Modish straight lines distinguish the smart unbelted coat, which in addition to its rounded lower edge and side closing also show newest style in the long tapering revers and flare sleeves... Rows of lustrous tailor braid finish the collar, sleeves and lower edge."
Above and centre:
"Fashioned from the popular and handsome All-Wool Poiret Twill... it displays exceptionally charming style in the modish jacquette blouse effect coat. Note the smartness of the very new style sleeves and the narrow diagonal revers... Rich looking embroidery in harmonizing color trims collar, cuffs and hip band."
Right:
"Here's one of Fashion's newest ideas in tailored suits, the unbelted coat model... Very new features of the jaunty coat are the flare sleeves; the long narrow graduated revers and the rounded-up lower edge which meets the revers to form a fashionable side-closing with a large fancy clasp. Fancy braid on collar, sleeves and lower edge adds a pleasing note of bright color."
All the suits on this page were made in navy blue wool.
