Goodwood Revival - help me accessorise 1940s suit!

8 replies

I'm dying of excitement about going to Goodwood in a few weeks! Grin I will be wearing a vintage 1940s tartan suit which I am completely in love with (pic on profile).

I would love some tips on how to accessorise it. I feel like a hat wouldn't go, although I do suit trilbys and fedoras. I hate fascinators, although I love pillbox hats with veils. Or perhaps some sort of hair accessory would look pretty? Speaking of hair, what shall I do with it?

The colours in the suit are a plummy burgundy and bottle green.

What else do I need? Any suggestions are most welcome!

Oh, and what should I wear under it? I have big boobs so blouses are a bit of a problem.

You'll need to make your profile public as I can't click on you!

What about some delicate crochet? I know a 1940s dancer who crochets scarves and brooches for their events.

Boo. I've just made it public - does it take a while? I know lots of people have had this problem.

Crochet sounds pretty.

Perhaps not the crochet bra if you are larger in that area!

Oooh the bags are nice... The crochet bra is even quite nice, although it wouldn't cover much!

I'm still not clickable, so here's my pic of the suit. www.flickr.com/photos/100987313@N04/
