In Timely Fashion--Fashion in Film: Molly Gibson's Dresses

Blue Jumper

(Note: This description contains a spoiler about the movie, and you'll want to skip over the first paragraph if you haven't seen it!!)

The jumper, sweet and simple and very suitable for modern wear, was worn by Molly in the scene near the end when Roger Hamley proposes. Of a medium denim-blue, this could be made of a number of fabrics: llight wool, heavy cotton, or even a firmly woven linen.

The bodice is fitted with double darts and has a low round neckline. Around the neckline, down the front and round the hem is a white, straight-edged lace trim. I would estimate its width at about 0.5" to 0.75". There are white buttons down the bodice front and skirt. A narrow waistband separates the skirt and bodice. In episode three, Molly wears a matching belt with this jumper. The skirt front is smooth while the back is either gauged or finely pleated.

You could wear any number of blouses, but here is a summary of the two I noted with this jumper: The first has a wide, square collar edged in lace. It has long sleeves and plain cuffs. The second blouse is similar in style, save it has a narrower collar.
