About MeDrawing of front view of three outfit designs. There are four figures drawn, but only three have been completed with outfit designs.The first design, on the left, shows a long-sleeved shirt top with a high collar with lapels, front patch pocket and a dropped waist above a pleated skirt section. It is worn over knee-length leggings.
The second outfit, in the centre, is a dress with a similar high collar and batwing sleeves, with square frill detail on the front seams and cuffs. It is caught in at the waist with a sash and the full skirt, worn over leggings, is split up each side.
The third design, on the right, shows a long coat dress, also worn over leggings, which is loose and split up each side. There is a large pointed shawl section over the shoulders and chest which is almost heart-shaped, and has a striped section at the neck around the front button fastening. The sleeves are long and loose with buttoned cuffs.
