Ask about licensing or this print

Rather than showing a single garment, this photograph presents a complete ensemble: a skirt, blouse, coat, hat and shoes worn together, so the viewer reads the outfit as one coordinated look. The record dates it to about 1920 and credits the copyright to J.A. Migel, Inc., which suggests it was made to promote fashion to retailers or the public. Early in the decade, skirts were rising and silhouettes were becoming simpler, and fashion pages and trade material often used images like this to show how pieces fit together. The record's details are unverified, so its exact use remains uncertain.
