...this suggestion is most unfair, for the Radcliffe wardrobe is practical, concealing, and suitably unstriking. It would be dangerous to demand more than this, and the recent assertion of independence from the norms of femininity must be applauded as most Radcliffe...

But by 1956, poor management, complacency and half-hearted selling had put it far behind competitors. As sales fell, inventories rose so high that it just about ran out of cash...
