A siren suit was a practical garment which came into vogue during the early years of the Second World War. The idea was that it could be pulled on over other clothes to keep the wearer warm (and unencumbered by long skirts) if she had to leave her houses - or any other place where she was - during the night because of air raids. 1940-1943 Siren Suit 1940s, 1940s Boiler Suit, 1940s Trench Coat Women, 1910s Trench Coat, 1940s Straight Jacket, Fashion 1940s Style, 40s Outfits, Museum Fashion, Make Do And Mend
