Plumcake, I thought of you last night when BBC2 raided their archive for a wartime clip of a young lass turning an evening dress into a tea dress, which “the boyfriend will like – and he’ll appreciate the turban, too”. For she was canny enough to make one out of the train. Thrifty and chic, yes?
Oh, I love Lana’s turban look! It may not be jeweled, but there is such a thing as gilding the lily. You can’t be an unfulfilled wife in a jeweled turban, you know.

I think number two doesn’t belong because it is not jeweled nor worn with exquisite clothing.
Oh, the stories those turbans could tell!
