I'd judge the wearer to be about B, and she looked gorgeous in it.
Come to think of it, a yoke that wide would end a lot farther above an
F bust. Which reminds me of the Barney Google & Snuffy Smith funny
strip: all the women have the bust indicated by scallops at the
waistline.
Wish't I knew what sort of headdress Loweezy's black coif was modeled
after. I suspect that the artist who draws it doesn't know, and I
couldn't find any old strips that might have been a bit closer to the
original. It *might* have originally been a three-cornered scarf laid
over the head, with the points wrapped once around the neck and tied
in front. This is still good under a helmet.
