This elegant afternoon ensemble, designed by Gordon Conway in 1931, showcases the timeless beauty and sophistication of 1930s fashion. The centerpiece of the outfit is a short coat made of Persian lamb cloth, featuring a bloused effect achieved by fastening it around the waist. The inner collar and cuffs are made of white shaved lamb, adding a touch of luxury and refinement. The coat is paired with a black cloth dress, which boasts a round white satin collar that perfectly complements the coat's collar and cuffs. The dress also features long sleeves and a fitted silhouette, accentuating the wearer's figure. To complete the look, the model wears a black satin cap, tied with a bow on one side, and black gloves. A tiny barrel muff made of the same material as the coat adds a final touch of warmth and style. This ensemble, with its combination of classic lines, luxurious fabrics, and intricate details, embodies the glamour and elegance of the 1930s. The use of Persian lamb and satin adds a sense of opulence, while the bloused effect of the coat and the round collar of the dress add a modern and feminine touch. Gordon Conway was a renowned fashion designer of the 1930s, known for his innovative designs and ability to create beautiful and timeless pieces. This afternoon ensemble is a testament to his talent and the enduring appeal of 1930s fashion.
