This nubby tweed, belted suit ensemble is a great example of the sophisticated, yet witty look of the 1930's. Nipped-in waists were accented with belts as the natural waistline returned. The period between 1934-40 was also the heyday for unusual buttons. I found these unique antique buttons at a local flea market. Of course, no daywear look is complete without a fabulous suede topper. Gloves and belt are from Ashton Drake, shoes from Integrity. My model/muse is USO Gene Marshall from Ashton Drake.

Another popular suit style in the 1930's featured short, fitted jackets with either a notched or shawl collar, or as in this case, a rever [sometimes referred to as a reverse lapel]. Paired with a longer length, bias-cut skirt, this suit style was the epitome of 1930's elegance. Appliqued suede leaves lend a surreal accent to the jacket. A grand, high-crown topper, matching gauntlet gloves and scarf, and spectator pumps complete the look. Shoes from D.A.E. Originals. My model/muse is C'est Moi Madra Lord by Integrity.

Here is a variation of the same pattern, this time utilizing an oversized shaped rever accented with a vintage flower and feather corsage. Additional 1930's details include a silk velvet ascot, matching suede gauntlet gloves, navy suede purse, and a felt swagger-brimmed, slouch hat. Shoes from Integrity. My model/muse is Night Memories Madra Lord from Ashton Drake enhanced with an Integrity articulated body.
