The uniform was made in 1964 by Courtaulds Ltd.and worn by stewardettes on board the Union-Castle liners "Transvaal Castle" and "Edinburgh Castle". The dresses are made from lilac Courtelle jersey, with cap and apron in check nylon. The washability of Courtelle jersey, combined with its crease resistance make it an ideal fabric for use in uniforms. (courtesy of London College of Fashion)
