Left to right: Joan Shaw, Gina Walker, and Dorothy Corton, three dedicated office girls at Five Ways Stocking factory in February 1944. These remarkable women play a crucial role in the clothing industry during the challenging times of World War II. As part of their job, they are entrusted with testing all new types of stockings produced by the firm. With unwavering commitment, Joan, Gina, and Dorothy wear a pair of stockings for two weeks under everyday conditions. They subject them to rigorous tests by washing them at least two or three times before reporting back on their condition and durability to the company. Their findings serve as invaluable feedback that guides the firm's production decisions. In an era where quality is paramount but resources are scarce due to war efforts, these extraordinary women contribute significantly towards ensuring that every stocking leaving Five Ways Stocking factory meets high standards. Their meticulous attention to detail helps maintain both fashion trends and industrial excellence despite wartime constraints. Joan Shaw, Gina Walker, and Dorothy Corton symbolize the resilience and dedication displayed by countless women who stepped up during World War II. Through their vital work behind closed doors within this male-dominated industry, they prove that women can excel in any field when given equal opportunities. This print from Mirrorpix captures a moment frozen in time—a testament to these unsung heroes whose contributions continue to shape our understanding of fashion history.
