Three women model dresses in this c1919 photoprint, and its caption singles out a frock of Moon Glo satin, a fabric name typical of the era's trade language. Underwood & Underwood, a New York firm known for news and commercial photography, produced the image and registered it for copyright, suggesting it was meant for publication. Late 1910s fashion was moving toward looser, shorter silhouettes, and named fabrics like this one helped shoppers identify the look they wanted.
