When Clothes Stand The Test Of Time
17 Jun
The photo above is of Princess Anne at the races at Royal Ascot recently.
The second photo (below) is Princess Anne at a Royal engagement wearing the same outfit in 1980.
The next photos are at the races in 1983, 1991 and 2011.
I doubt that many of us could say we’ve worn an outfit like this, over 35 years.
I’ve looked at it closely to see if anything has been altered to modernise it and I don’t believe anything has. (Apart from wearing a different glove, shoe, hat and brooch) The lapel, shoulders, hem length, waist seams, width of sleeve, which are often adjusted to modernise a piece, all appear to be unchanged.
I’d be very happy if a piece in my wardrobe stood the test of time and had the regular wears, that this has.
If there was ever a good advertisement for adding classic quality pieces to your wardrobe, this is one.
