that the character (now called Green like her manga counterpart) finally gets to wear her black dress after a two-decade-long wait, albeit now with a Modesty Shorts added beneath that dangerously short dress in her original design (even though you can't guess it if you've never seen the character before hand, as it now looks more like a long tanktop)
Consisting of a white blouse and skirt in twill for enlisted, and white twill or palm beach white for officers, the jacket was modelled on the summer service uniform blouse, open-necked and with short sleeves, four patch pockets, each closing with a top flap fastened initially by a single white button and later by a single gilt eagle/anchor button
Then with slightly dressier fabrics or styling, the exact same silhouette can work beautifully for baby showers, bridal showers, graduations, or weddings
Where beige works slightly less well is at very vibrant, themed, or celebratory events where bold color is part of the energy, since beige can feel restrained when the room calls for something more expressive
Ive always thought it would be fun to dress up as a flapper, but alas, Ive never been invited to a 1920s party, and for Halloween, I was too busy being Mary Poppins or film noir characters to try out a flapper costume
