I've seen worse, Darrell Lea in Australia used to have their shop 
assistants in a large shapeless shift with a huge floppy bow about the 
same place as this uniform. Shocking! Unfortunately, I can't find a photo 
of these on the net. Anyone else in OZ have any pics?


Glenda.

, but the 20th century

isn't exactly my area of costuming interest...


I'd say early tacky or late dowdy ;-)  Seriously though, I've seen some 
hideous work uniforms but I think Sees is a real leader here. 
Fortunately their candy is wonderful and they're not selling their 
uniforms...those poor ladies...

I purchased some of the Celtic Cross from them.  I used this on my daughters 
gown.  I find it a bit
to light weight for myself.  If you would like a swatch of it lmk email me 
directly

You might check out the Realmofvenus website (not sure of exact web addy,

but someone else might have it).  The owner/host specializes in Italian
stuff--more heavily oriented towards Venetian, but lotses and lotses of
yummy ideas, nonetheless!

Here is the url for the site.
