Two Piece Velvet Suit, 1914

This suit consists of a loose jacket and skirt in matching blue velvet with red undertones and heavy black embroidery. Both garments are lined with red satin. This garment is unique among other surviving garments. Much clothing that survives to today is petite in size. Due to the large measurements in proportion, this garment was worn by a plus size person.
The bodice, lined, is decorated with elaborate black trim travel from hem over the shoulder to back, also appearing on the wrists of the coat-like sleeves. The jacket also features a small black satin collar. It is closed at the neck and waist. A cord loops over two buttons are placed at either side of the jacket at the neck. An integrated black satin vest closes at the waist with two snaps. The jacket hangs open over it, with a decorative button and buttonhole.
The skirt is bag lined. The hem is faced 3" deep. Elaborate black trim runs along the hem, framing the skirt's pleated back panel, closing at center back with hooks and eyes. The skirt is studded with buttons skew center front. The waistband, inlaid with small bones for structure, is of black petersham ribbon.
A label sewn to the lining reads "J. Hock, Detroit, Mich." The label also features a fleur de lis and supposedly J. Hock's logo.
Jacket: OL: 28 1/2" (back)
Bodice: OL 41".
