Title
Utility style deep brassiere, 1941
Description
An early woman's Utility style brassiere of 1941, produced by Symington.
The Utility scheme was introduced by the Government's Board of Trade during World War Two. The scheme's regulations controlled production of clothing and later furniture throughout and immediately after the war. The scheme laid down strict rules about how long an item took to be made, how much material was used, set limits for decoration and set a general standard of quality.
The Utility symbol shows two stylised Cs which stood for Civilian Clothing and the number 41 represented the year of its introduction.
