The coat's convertible collar can be worn buttoned high or rolled into soft revers, and the front may be trimmed with tabs for a bit of tailored detail. The two-piece sleeve is finished with a turned cuff, while the one-piece skirt is laid in nine backward-turning plaits to each half, giving it a crisp, structured fall - a versatile design suited to school, travel, or Sunday best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"fashion-history\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoordinated coat-and-skirt suits like this one were a practical staple for girls in the early 1920s, echoing the tailored silhouettes popular in women's fashion of the period.
