So I've been on a "Are You Being Served" kick (as I always have been, but it's bigger now that I'm watching my complete box set :-D ) and I'm thinking of putting together some LEGO minifigs to portray the characters (and maybe even make a set down the road!), but the only trouble I am having is finding the right torso for the ladies. Their uniform is a brown tank dress thing with a white or beige blouse. The legs are fine because I'll take a brown 2X1, and attach some yellow round 1x1s for legs, but the torso is tough! Nothing I've seen really works. There's a Han Solo one that comes close, and I would have used it, but the vest isn't brown. I can always try and make do, but I'd like to be as accurate as possible.
This is what I want to reproduce:

The men are simple because they just wore regular suits and there are a few of those available.
Also, YAY, IT'S MY HUNDRETH (hundredeth?) POST!!! YAY!!!
Ahem.
UPDATE: I'm going with this. It's too light, but it's the best I'm going to get.
