Suits VI (National Bellas Hess, Fall-Winter 1944-45)

 On the cover of this wartime National Bellas Hess catalog is a suit echoing the uniforms worn by women in the armed forces (and auxiliary services).  The look is tailored and no-nonsense, the emphasis is on practicality.


The Man-Tailored SUIT
Smartly styled and expertly tailored of our best ALL new Wool Shetland-weave, handsome, firm textured—keeps its shape through active wear.  Classic three-button jacket, with darts at the waist for slim, feminine lines; inner flap pockets; full Rayon lining.  The trim-fitting skirt is box-pleated front and back; one-button waistband concealed placket.

The Popular "Boy" COAT
Young, easy to wear, comfortable.  Smartly tailored of rich, firm-bodied All new Wool Shetland-weave, on trim-fitting straight lines.  Single breasted front with wide revers, tailored welt seaming, two deep inset flap pockets, arm straps for over-the-shoulder wear.  Rayon lined, warmly interlined.
With rayon blouse, felt hat and leather gloves.
