All answers are items of clothing........ and the numbers in brackets are how many letters.

  1. Matinee coat

  2. Loafers

  3. Liberty Bodice - my mum told me that one!

throckenholt · 16/11/2005 10:13

is 11 something to do with a feather boa - boa constrictor ? Not the right number of letters for the first bit though.

Marina · 16/11/2005 10:19

Might 9 be a Stetson, on JR's evil head?
I wondered if 35 was a dirndl (skirt) rather than a wimple, jackstini, but they are both the right letters.

Marina · 16/11/2005 10:20

Can a "loft" be a kind of coat (in the states?) 3

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 10:21

46 cassock?

Marina · 16/11/2005 10:24

27 macintosh?

Mercy · 16/11/2005 10:26
  1. Macintosh ?
HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 10:28

Marina dirndl would make more sense than wimple I think wouldn't it (having just looked on google images at both LOL). She was in a convent but left - so presumably we're supposed to think of the "free" Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music rather than the Nun one.???

BTW - DH is very impressed with you lot

OP posts:
HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 10:30

Cassocks aren't always black though - you get blue and red (among other colours).

OP posts:
Marina · 16/11/2005 10:32

That is true (thinking back to the violent purple ones our choir "enjoyed" wearing )

Mercy · 16/11/2005 10:39

Nightynight got panama hat - 40
