I prefer the solid colours personally, but I do like the braid. getting hold of school hats generally seems to be a problem, particularly ones which actually fit! I have taken blazers to dry cleaners, but I remove the school crest before doing so. xx
The ones with stripes and braiding are best x Mine's just navy blue, 1950s, 100% wool x Taking it to the dry cleaners could be embarrassing x Straw boaters are harder to obtain(?) xx
It is a lovely blazer, I agree. I have a couple of similar ones in my collection- navy with "rope" braiding. I love to see a girl in a blazer, particularly traditional wool ones.
Miss is quite right. The vest and blouse should be tucked into the nix so one can flash one's knickers over the waistband of one's skirt. Innit? I wish someone would spank me like that. Lucky girl.
