Rob: [i]There is a good drawing of the Amazons in a carriage with the GA (hidden by a parasol) and mother, as the frontispiece to 'Swallowdale' drawn by Clifford Webb: "Those can't be the Amazon pirates". In this they are wearing large brimmed hats rather than the hair bands in PM, and sort of tiered long frocks. I will try to scan and post this drawing asap.[/i]
I'd be most grateful!
Actually the hats (long gloves!)and "tiered" ("Volant" in French and German, not sure about the proper english expression*) are closer to my (not terribly well informed) idea of girl's fashion of these days than the hairbands.
* like this (often only the skirt is done in the style)
