Cissy is wearing a slim skirt constructed from graduating curved `scallops' in a sage sateen and satin leaf brocade. Her bodice has a neat midriff insert which accentuates the upper bodice and it's typical 40's squared `cap' shoulders.

Over this a luxurious leaf green chopped mohair fur cloak - again with pleated squared shoulder detai, her pink meshed gloved hands peeking through the openings embellished with rose embroidery - the cloak is fully lined with blush pink satin, edges with gold braid and trimmed with pink pearl `buttons'.

Around her neck and at her ears she wears floral beaded concoctions - the pink beads and pearls pefectly matching the roses in her hat

This hat is so typically Forties - big, laiden with blooms and the necessary olive net covers her beautiful face

She carries both a Fur Muffler and an Embroidered purse each lined with pink satin to match her cloak.

Her glovers are made from pink Lurex mesh - an outfit wasnt complete without gloves and these just add the meerest hint of colour without being overpowering

At her waist she wears a gold kid leather belt studded with pink, plum and grape diamante to match her platform Wedge shoes - Carmen would have loved these !!
