pin-stripe-purse

1940s news photo: "Severely Tailored...is this black suit with red and white pin stripes worn by attractive Eve Arden in a new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film. The new fly-front jacket with stitched up cuffs, is worn over a pencil slim skirt. An interesting detail is the V-shaped design formed by the stripes. The jacket is worn over a white pique vestee which matches the white pique and black brimed hat. A black leather bag with white stitching is rolled up like a music score, and carried under the arm."
