Daisy pulls it off

This picture shows the two leading characters, Daisy (in the background) and Trixie.
The gym "horse" was also a multi functional prop, becoming a bed, a desk and of course part of the clifftop!
The set was very minimalist, but the costumes were designed to be very accurate representations of school uniform in the pre-war period.
The school blouses were made with extra large soft collars to replicate those I had seen in photographs from the 1930's.
The pinafore dresses were made from navy fine wool and carefully pleated and held with a yellow woven "garter which represented school sports colours.
