Suit 1898 - 1902

"Suit" is a work of fashion design by Belle Jardinière, Paris, and dates from 1898 to 1902. The suit is comprised of a jacket and trousers made of a light blue striped fabric, and is a part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY. The suit is a striking example of late 19th-century fashion and highlights the era's focus on elegant tailoring and the use of fine fabrics. The stripes of the fabric add a subtle texture to the piece and offer an interesting detail to this otherwise simple design.
