And, Speaking of Yentl and Union Suits:

Another scene from the 1983 film wherein Yentl Mendel, while posing as a boy to be accepted into university, visits a tailor shop to be fitted for a new suit, a wedding suit! She has found herself betrothed. Having dressed as a boy, she undresses to her union suit for a fitting by the owner and his son....

  1. Chris: In the last photo of the tailor and his boy with Yentl, and in the movie, both are shown with their sleeves rolled up and they too have on white union suits under their clothes....Samuel, hailing from Boston where I way white union suits myself a good part of the year.
