EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink and watercolour design depicts the WRAC No 2 Dress, a striking uniform worn by the Women's Royal Army Corps (WRAC) members in the late 1950s. The elegant and feminine design, believed to be the work of the renowned fashion house Worth, showcases a tunic, skirt, and beret. The tunic features a V-neckline, long sleeves, and a fitted waistline, while the skirt is full and flows gracefully around the model's legs. The beret, a classic accessory of the WRAC uniform, sits atop the model's head at a jaunty angle, adding a touch of sophistication to the ensemble. The WRAC No 2 Dress was introduced in 1958 and represented a significant departure from the traditional military uniforms of the time. The design was intended to reflect the changing role of women in the military, as they transitioned from support roles to more active combatant positions. The WRAC uniforms were designed to be both practical and feminine, allowing women to serve with dignity and pride. The intricate details of this design, from the delicate watercolour shading to the precise pen lines, reveal the skill and artistry of the designer. The use of bold colours and dynamic patterns adds visual interest and makes this uniform a true fashion statement of its time. This design serves as a reminder of the important role that women have played in the military and the impact of fashion on military uniforms.
