Hollywood fashion designer #HowardGreer (1896–1974) created this fitted suit in light blue wool gabardine. It was known as the “cutout” for the openwork TWA lettering on the shoulder. With suggestions from supervisor of hostess services Ida Staggers, Greer introduced the “blou-slip,” a combined undergarment in rayon and satin that did not need constant tucking in. The triangular jacket flap could be unbuttoned to cover the TWA lettering, allowing the hostess to smoke or have a cocktail while off duty. See this uniform on display in "#FashionInFlight: A History of Airline Uniform Design", on display, pre-security, in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/fashioninflight This image was posted on July 15, 2016.
