No frills or furbelows; long sleeves (a must!)and natural fibres, though possibly a little scratchy in the original. Pretty much anything before the introduction of stomachers, or any other form of stiffening.

Until it all started to go wrong in the 60s...Couldn't agree more Patsy's comment on how there must be a compromise somewhere...Maxihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881927674109243192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764329434741342023.post-11245536047528667742013-03-17T09:38:02.307+00:002013-03-17T09:38:02.307+00:00I was reading about that book too, Carol.

Full evening dress for every social occasion might be a bit much but there could be a compromise between that and wearing the same outfit for work, supermarket shoppingPatsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.com
