About MeNavy gabardine suit jacket with cord and embroidery decoration, displayed with a full-length black wool skirt.

Dating to around 1912, this is a typical outfit for a well-dressed lady. It has a tailored military-style tailcoat jacket and neat full-length skirt with the hemline at a more practical height, just above the ankle. Gabardine is a lightweight fabric suitable for the slightly warmer weather of Spring.
