Dannimac Gaberdine 1951

"This was me" writes Stella Roche to the BBC Woman's Hour Timeline Archive, "on top of L'Arc de Triomphe, taken by my husband-to-be.

It was my first trip to Paris and I am wearing an air-force blue gabardine with covered buttons by Dannimac, for which I had saved up to buy for many months."
