Description
This postcard depicts four women in profile, wearing similar outfits.
Starting from the left is a woman wearing a blue jumpsuit over a white shirt and trousers ensemble with a geometrical pink pattern. Her hat is narrown and adorned with a green feather.
The second is wearing a short green dress, with a white and black polka dot bust and patterned waist belt, over pink and black polka dot trousers and a white and black polka dot high-collar shirt. Her hat is long, narrown pink with a green ribbon.
The third is wearing a light orange jumpsuit, over navy blue trousers with black stripes and green polka dots, as well as a lacy high-collar shirt. The shape of her hat is exactly the same as the first woman, with blue and black polka dots, black and pink polka dot lining and a grey feather.
The last woman is wearing a short pink dress, with black fringes where the skirt stops. The waist is marked by a yellow belt from wich is hanging a white and pink striped piece of fabric. Underneath are pink trousers with small black dots and a high-collar white shirt with black dots as well. The shape of her hat is the same as the second woman, but blue with pink ribbons and flowers.
