'We continue on our journey through London\'s Fashion Alphabet at the Museum of London\'s dress and textile store with the letter D which is for dolls. These Second World War dolls, designed by Moray Thomas, reflect the war time fashions of women contributing to Britain\'s war effort. Learn more about the different roles which were open for women during the 1940s as fashion curator, Lucie Whitmore tells us more. A couple of notices: - At around 3:38 Lucie mentions that \'the Queen\' joined the ATS in 1945. Just to be clear this is our current Queen, but at the time she was still a wee princess. - If you\'d like to take a look at Moray Thomas\' wonderful dolls\' house mentioned around 2:49.
