1895 Walking Costume

1895 Walking Costume

Description

With my first travel by steam train coming up I decided that I needed a more practical oufit. A beige linen weave cotton jacket and a beige striped cotton decorated with a darker beige and black velvet band. Underneath it, a not so practical but it's my favourite, cotton batist lace blouse. The outfit is completed with a straw boater.
