Description
This postcard depicts a woman wearing a wide-brimmed pink hat adonrned with a grey feather.
Her dress has a high neck with pink less detailing and a rather narrow skirt. On top of it is a fur stole and fur muff with a coordinated rectangular pink piece of fabric at the front.
The inscription translates to "Here's winter. Everything increases, except dresses!", which could either be a denunciation of the narrowness of her skirt or of the fashion not being adapted to colder temperatures.
