Vest and Pantie

Morning after the invasion of Poland, the lead-off Woman's Page story in London's high-class big-circulation Daily Telegraph was headlined UNDERWEAR, ran as follows:

"Women who during the past few days have found themselves in uniform for the first time are inquiring as to the most suitable underclothing to wear with it.

"They realize that their choice must allow for unusual activity, which rules out much of the gossamer lingerie to which many of them have been accustomed.

"The most practical outfit . . . is first, vest and pantie in fine wool or a mixture of artificial silk and wool. . . .

"If possible a corselet should be worn. This one piece is the better choice, but if the figure is heavy brassiere and well-boned corset may be preferred. Knickers should be in Directoire style, with elastic at waist and knees, in any dark shade preferred. Nurses and other national workers who wear light frocks will still choose white or the pinks, peach or pastel blue underwear shades. . . .

"These few simple garments make for speedy dressing; they will give adequate protection if the worker gets overwarm and will keep tidy and give good hard wear."
