Bonus! Although sold (for all of 99p) as 'unlined' and 'home made', the jacket was lined and it was hand made in the UK, not home made. Hurrah, washing instructions. One thing did strike me though- it's 40s revival from the 80s/70s, but it is definitely more retro than vintage to my mind. This isn't really a bad thing at all, as I love the 70s, the 80s and more to the point, this flashed into my mind:
Love it! Now I just have to get my twinnie her own 'tough chick trying to be a lady in a man's world' outfit and we can go and fight crime. Lord Florizel was most enthused, but that might be because he likes to don his crombie and a cream shirt and play cops too:
Which might explain the 'high' quality of these outfit shots, he kept leaping over the coffee table, rolling with the camera and shouting 'you're going daaahn', 'pull the other one it's got bells on' and 'ees got a shootah!':

Ha ha great post, I can just imagine you hauling some crims over your Capri bonnet!! What a bargain that suit was, and the perfect fit!
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing- the seller said is was an odd size for an 8-10 and might fit a size 6, I was a bit worried but it fits a modern 8-10 (with a big bum) just fine!
ReplyDeleteFab suit, love it with the boots, I had a similar one and loved it!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous suit, I remember having one similiar back in the 1980's. It fits you perfectly. I love your hair, shame we don't get to see the face, although the recipe book is rather marvellous. xxx
ReplyDeleteVV- thanks kindly lady! Am nervous about face showing as my job requires me to role model (ie no booze and so forth) plus I would be mortified by a mean comment off a tweenager!
ReplyDeletePaperdoll- thanks. The boots were His Lordship's idea. Maybe he's a bit more metrosexual than his Regan persona would like!
