EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage Stiebel design for the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) officers' mess undress, dating back to September 1951. Designed by the renowned fashion designer Victor Stiebel, this elegant ensemble comprises a long, navy blue skirt, a blouse with a revered collar, and a bolero jacket. The WRNS, also known as the Women's Royal Naval Service, was the women's branch of the Royal Navy during World War II and the post-war period. The officers' mess uniform was an essential part of their identity, representing both their status and their commitment to duty. The long skirt, with its subtle pleats and A-line silhouette, exudes an air of sophistication and grace. The blouse, featuring a high-necked, revered collar, adds a touch of formality and tradition to the ensemble. The bolero jacket, with its fitted sleeves and cinched waist, completes the look, providing both warmth and style. Victor Stiebel was a celebrated British fashion designer, known for his innovative designs and his contributions to the fashion industry. His collaboration with the WRNS resulted in a series of elegant and functional uniforms that reflected both the women's military status and their femininity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when fashion and military tradition intertwined to create a unique and enduring style. The Stiebel design for the WRNS officers' mess undress remains an iconic piece of fashion history, embodying the elegance and sophistication of a bygone era.
