We had ordered a selection of original designs &#8211; these included 1930s sketches by Norman Hartnell for the Royal family (with corgis!), Mary Quant, Jean Muir and Zandra Rhodes. Many of the sketches have fabric swatches and notes by the designers, you you get a real sense of the creative process. But everyone&#8217;s favourite seemed to be the 1949 order book by a little-known designer, Marjorie Field &#8211; very evocative of its period!<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vam.ac.uk\/resources\/print_study_reading\/index.html\">http:\/\/www.vam.ac.uk\/resources\/print_study_reading\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vam.ac.uk\/collections\/fashion\/features\/20th_century_fashion_drawing_illustration\/index.html\">http:\/\/www.vam.ac.uk\/collections\/fashion\/features\/20th_century_fashion_drawing_illustration\/index.html<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week my course visited the Prints and Drawings Study Room at the V&amp;A.
