In the same year, the modesty skirts overlying her short nautical beach sets featured, “a semi-detached sail belonging to a painted boat on a painted sea”. In 1947 her collection included a green and white striped linen skirt “draped back, as a theatre curtain might be,” revealing a painted ‘backdrop’ of a white linen underskirt hand painted with a Paris street scene.
