They were on show at the London Nursing Exhibition at Seymour Hall. L-R CLAUDETTE wears a culotte in white drill with a long front zipper. HEIDI wears a frilly dress and cap in white cotton drill and MARION wears a sleeveless side buttoning culotte dress in white drill with a semi-discreet and functional slit at the side. Drill is stout durable cotton fabric with a strong bias (diagonal) in the weave. Light weight drill is used in clothing items such as shirts, safari jackets, blouses, and sports clothing.The heavier weights were often used in corsets, and are commonly used in work clothing and uniforms.
