Teal woollen suit

She wears a woollen suit in teal with a rose hat with purple band. The suit jacket is short, coming to just below the waist, and has narrow notch lapels; it fastens with three buttons and has no pockets. The skirt descends to just below the knee, and has short vents on each leg.

Worn in:

• November Five : no blouse, brown leather gloves
• The Secrets Broker : spotted cravat blouse, possibly with matching blouse
