  Photo by Trevor Sharot. Angela in pink vintage garment, top and skirt. The skirt was made by converting the cotton trousers or pyjama bottoms. The brand is vintage. Comfy clothes were in Queens Park and went out of business. The pattern on the front of the top is white bamboo leaves with small Chinese writing. The base colour is coral pink.  I was looking for a night dress or day dress. I have a day dress which is sleeveless, designed to be worn over a contrasting short or long sleeved under garment. . The top in the same colour.  Comfy clothes came in large loose sizes. They were expensive but had sales once or twice a year.

The Top The top is reversed back to front to show only the plain pink. It is Disney princess. The Skirt The skirt is rescued from a child's dress. The top which was too small was cut and slit up the sides to make a dickey or false front to fill in a V neck outfit. The skirt was cut above the waistband, and slit at the back.

The long under slip is a black slip from Marks & Spencer. Coral Pink Cape Blazer Brand name, Pretty Little Thing, from the UK. Size UK 16, AUS 16. EUR 44, US 12. The label says 95% polyester 5% elastane, made in UK. I sewed pink ribbons onto the jacket to fasten i...
