Bruyere Suit

Bruyére Suit is a women's fashion design which consists of an unlined jacket and a blouse made of crinkly crépe, with a cowl neckline. The fashion element was imported from Paris, France and introduced in the United States in early 1933. The Bruyére suit was designed by Mademoiselle Bruyére. Her couture establishment was located on the Place Vendôme in Paris.

Design characteristics
Additional features of the Bruyére Suit include breast pockets which are cut as part of the front of the jacket. The pockets have an unusual diagonal slant. There is a hint of a cuffline above the wrist which is suggested by tiny pressed tucks on the sleeve. A narrow row of similar small tucks, above and below the belt, provides fullness in the back. A collarless neckline is situated high on the nape of the neck. Softness is added by a fold between the shoulder seams. One's awareness of the design elements is unobtrusive. A row of faggoting (knitting), which spans the chest, provides the impression of a yoke (shirt).
