Title
Avro Utility hookside wraparound, 1941
Description
Avro hookside wraparound made from tea rose cotton drill with panels and insets of cotton elastic. It is supported at the centre front by firm steels and is moderately boned with spiral and flat steels. This model was produced under the Utility regulations.
The Utility scheme was introduced by the Goverment's Board of Trade in 1941. These regulations controlled production of clothing and later furniture throughout and immediately after World War Two. 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 representing the year of its introduction.
