A model displays a complete ensemble of skirt, blouse, hat and shoes, presented as one coordinated look rather than as separate garments. The record dates the picture to about July 16, 1920, and credits a copyright claim to J.A. Migel, Inc., which suggests commercial fashion publicity of the period. Photographs like this were increasingly used in the 1920s to show readers how fashionable dress was meant to be worn, making the image a useful glimpse of summer clothing. Because the date and attribution come from an unverified caption card, treat them as provisional.
