Sommer-saison, 1909, saison d'été
A 1909 Swiss fashion plate catalogue for the summer season, titled Sommer-saison, aimed at women buying coats and suits from a French-language and German-language trade. The engravings show full-length tailored coats, high collars and fitted sleeves over long skirts, with small inset views of the back and sleeve cut. A designer could draw on the layered tailoring, braided trim, frogging and hat shapes, which read as strongly Edwardian in silhouette.
