Suits VII (Vogue Pattern Book, 1955)

 The skirt suit was as popular as ever in the ladylike 1950s.  In 1955,Vogue Pattern Book devoted fully half of its covers to suits.

February-March 1955
"This spring it's pale tweed (like this butter yellow) for suits (like this tapered box jacket suit).  Noteworth: the collar that rolls away from the neckline, the low-placed belt.  Vogue Pattern S-4573."

August-September 1955
"A twelve-month-of-the-year investment... the good little jersey suit.  Here in a bold herringbone in black and white.  News: the bare neck, the spark of red in the hat and gloves.  Vogue Pattern Number S-4625."

October-November 1955
"Tweed, the seasoned green of an early autumn countryside... a suit as relaxed as a day in the country.  News... the follow-through of polished green leather accessories... the park of sky-blue.  Vogue Pattern No. S-4638."
