Aug. 08, 1967 - How To Get Into Claridges In A Trouser Suit: It took a dress designer-cum-pop singer called Susan Jane Griffiths to demonstrate in full the essential absurdity of the top hotel commandment that Thou Shalt Not be Served in a Trouser Suit. Miss Griffiths, aged 22 - she likes to be known as Ladye-Jane - solved the problem in a matter of seconds when Claridges yesterday declared her persona non grata in a red trouser suit. She simply took her trousers off and called the remainder a mini-dress. Really, the surprise is that nobody has done it before. But Claridges were checkmated. And to an audience of incredulous stares from the other diners, Miss Griffiths took her place in the restaurant. Photo shows Ladye-Jane in trouser suit. half-way out of trouser suit. and into mini dress
