The Little Dictionary of Fashion: R is for
Rainwear, Red and Ribbon is Christian Dior's The Little Dictionary of Fashion.
Apparently, rainwear was made from quite 'drab' materials originally, but 'cannot be treated the same as an ordinary coat as it should protect you from the rain' 🙄 - which is what a coat is supposed to do, but anyway...
...different shades of red are youthful for those 'not so young and slim' 😒 ...
...and there is supposedly an art to tying a bow which can't be done in creased ribbon.
Lots of eye-rolling for todays flashback Friday moment from 1954.

A different throwback thursday...
Something a little different for todays throwback Thursday - an appreciation post to Biggin Hill Heritage Hanger and Greg from the Two Seat Spitfire page for the recommendation for my Dads birthday.
The weather was superb and he really enjoyed the experience and the hangar tour.
Highly recommend for any spitfire fan.
