or

the

of
four
or
more
panels, designed to cover the upper part of the body, possibly with a tailored waistcoat in

All
of
the

of
a

the
same

they
must
also

size.
However,
these
components
may
have
a
piping

strip
of
fabric
sewn
into
the
seam)
in
a
different
fabric.
If
several
separate
components
to
cover
the
lower
part
of
the
body
are
presented
together
(for
example,
two
pairs
of
trousers
or
trousers
and
shorts,
or
a
skirt
or
divided
skirt
and
trousers),
the
constituent
lower
part
shall
be
one
pair
of
trousers
or,
in
the
case
of
women's
or
girls'
suits,
the
skirt
or
divided
skirt,
the
other
garments
being
considered
separately.
The
term
"suit"
includes
the
following
sets
of
garments,
whether
or
not
they
fulfil
all
the
above
conditions:
-
morning

comprising
a

jacket
(cutaway)
with
rounded
tails
hanging
well
down
at
the
back
and
striped

(tailcoat),
generally
made
of
black
fabric,
the
jacket
of
which
is
relatively

at
the

not
close
and
has
narrow
skirts
cut
in
at
the
hips
and
hanging
down
behind;
-
dinner
jacket
suits,
in
which
the
jacket
is
similar
in
style
to
an
ordinary
jacket
(though
perhaps

more

the
shirt
front),
but
has
shiny
silk
or
imitation
silk
lapels.
(b)
The
term
"ensemble"
means
a
set
of
garments

and

must
be
of
the
same
fabric
construction,
style,
colour
and

they
also
must
be
of

sleeveless
jacket
worn
over
the

All

up
in
a
fabric
of
the
same

also
