Fashion 75 years ago






















If you attended the mannequin parade held at William Cooper and Sons in February 1936, this is one of the glorious frocks you would have seen. It comprised a three-piece cocktail suit, featuring the latest monk cape and hood. The skirt and hood cape (lined with pink) were composed of black panne velvet, and the blouse was of pink net. Also modelled at this mannequin parade were some rather risque Berlei corsets. Cutting edge for 1936.
