Nice find Mark!

I just found my own '60s Thomas Wardle in my collection, a quick search found this old post. I love your suede pinafore, it's a beauty.

Mine is a very small size, especially around the hips which were too small for my slimmest mannequin. XXSSW is roughly equivalent to a modern Australian 4 (US 0)

I hired it to the film 'Predestination' (2014), you can see it fourth from the left in this photo.

I collect Australian fashion and Thomas Wardle was one of the few designers I didn't have represented so it's exciting to find this '60s example that I didn't even know I had!
