Wouldn't this be your favorite go-to outfit if you were Mrs. Charles? No woman has every looked as pulled together as Nora in this plaid bias-cut skirt, feather-endowed beret and bow combination. And the shapely black companion jacket pulls it all together. I'd hazard a guess that the plaid is a mixture of black and red threads on a white background.
A modern sewist could pull off the creation of a very similar ensemble (she might want to ditch the bow tie and feather, to avoid looking a bit too precious) but she could never really put it together like Nora Charles did.
Some folks say that clothes make the woman, but in the case of this great lady, Myrna Loy made the clothes.
