Flounced silk blouse
A simple straight black skirt, knee length with a thin leather belt is coupled with a flounced fine silk blouse, cloth gathered at the tight cuffs and with a daringly plunging neckline — flounced down to the navel, and only Diana’s slender black bra prevents her modesty from being completely destroyed (see at right). Patrick Macnee cheekily avails himself of the opportunity to glimpse her treasures.
- Worn in Death at Bargain Prices
Ruffled silk blouse
A high collared white silk blouse (probably in response to Patrick’s wandering gaze!), the material gathered in radiating folds into the collar, and the cuffs ruffled. Worn with a (probably) green masculine waistcoat complete with watch chain, the waistcoat coming in under the bosom (now hidden by a white bra), and with black trousers. Later worn with the double breasted coat first worn in The Cybernauts.
