Its almost like they were saying that you could still be a woman, even if you were doing the "mans" job!

I love looking at what women wore when they went into factory work during the war; the way fashions changed and ladies had such posters to guide them!<br />xxRosie Aliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710537601698244978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-33409692183506531672011-08-20T15:36:06.539-07:002011-08-20T15:36:06.539-07:00Another lovely and thoughtful image, thanks Jessic...Another lovely and thoughtful image, thanks Jessica.
