Such unusual treatments as the belted back, the bi-swing back, pinch pleated front, the beltless pleated back, patch pockets, etc. will make their appearances throughout this series, so be on the lookout for those.

And, with nothing better to do, here is the first post of the "1940 Mont. Ward catalog suits" series. More to follow in due time.
