MISS DRIED FRUIT

Back in the 1920s  there were  no  P3  girls  in brief attire  in  the Australian media . Instead , there  were  glamour  postcards ,  like  this one showing  a   girl in a dazzling outfit  adorned  with  bunches of   grapes and   dried  fruit , promoting Sunraysia  produce.  Sun drenched  dried  fruit seems to be  hanging  from  the  hem of  her specially made dress - which you  don't see  dangling from  the skirts of  modern  misses.  It  could come  back into fashion , do you think ? This  model, whose name may have been Mabel,  kept  company with Little Normey (see  earlier post ) of  Snake Gully , not  far  from Irymple,Victoria.
