This fashion design shows a woman wearing a navy two-piece ensemble designed by Marjorie Field for the haute couture firm Field Rhoades which was registered in the London street directories at 77, South Audley Street, London W1 for the years 1948 to 1949. The design is coupled with a typewritten description of the dress, detailing the material out of which it is intended to be made, available colours, size suitability and price. The design was available in navy, black, beige, or mid-grey wool combined with black satin or faille, which is a plain woven textile characterised by slight, flat ribs in the weft. The short open jacket is fastened with one big round button. A smaller pencil sketch to the right shows the bodice of the dress and the wide, inset corselet, or girdle-like sash, fitted snugly over the waistline. Another sketch below shows the back of the dress. The design would have been used as a presentation drawing and forms part of an album of 12 designs with accompanying descriptions from which the client could choose what she wanted to have made.
