Wartime glamour? - something elegant and refined was what she'd been advised to wear visiting her Counterpart `over there'. l It was ate Summer, almost Autumn so a lightweight outer garment was essential.

The hat of course turned heads as she sashayed into the Ministy's offices. She was a jolt of colour amid the sobriety of  grey and brown suited Ladies - their envious glances jabbed her in the back as she passed - whereas the Gentlemen simply gawped in admiration.

She tightly clutched her large Envelope purse aware of the importance of the Documents within and strode on........

The short black lace Cape drapes simply over her shoulders whilst the Blue silk corsage peeks from beneath tucked into her lace trimmed Sweetheart neckline.

 The simple straight Dupion silk skirt is cleverly enhanced with two overlapping black silk scalllops which gently hug her hips.

This Forties outfit consists of a lustrious blue Silk Dupion skirt with contrasting ovelapping scallops of black silk, a sweetheart neck silk bodice with a black lace bra embellishment. A large black Cartwheel hat is trimmed with blue silk flowers - they also make up her Corsage and decorate her large silk envelope purse. Her black short lace Cape is typically Forties. Elbow length gloves, dotted black hose and a blue and black necklace finish her ensemble.
