I think I could work and play in those frocks! Wouldn't it be nice if nurses wore uniforms like that now days instead of those ugly scrubs? I remember when my sister was graduating from nursing school, how excited she was to get her nurses cap. Wonder if they still give them to nurses as a symbolic gesture?
ReplyDeleteIndeed the nurses outfit are fantastic, so feminine. There are many interesting detaills that I found ispirational in all those garments, thanks for sharing
