well I hope they remove her shoes before they lead her to the gallows room as they actually did from reports I have read that she was hanged in her stockinged feet.

"The project is produced by Silverprint Pictures for ITVX and is based on Carol Ann Lee's biography A Fine Day For Hanging: The Real Ruth Ellis Story. The script is written by Kelly Jones with Angie Daniell producing the series and Lee Haven Jones directing all four episodes, originally entitled Ruth."
Here's the pdf of a story https://content.e-bookshelf.de/media/reading/L-705606-057ad5aabe.pdf

I heard that in fact the women were executed in trousers, after the hanging of Edith Thompson and the accident with (allegedly) uterus. Ipersonally like to see women on the scaffold in skirts or shirt dresses, but I would be delighted to see Ruth - as Elain hopes - in her stockings and - as I hope - in a skirt.

Thanks fo making this available

 

From reading the book the series is based on she wore a special nappy to deal with that ‘issue’.

Also from the book:

“prisoners wore their own clothing on the day of execution, and Ruth abandoned the regulation blue smock with its tiny bows, choosing instead a skirt and blouse. She cleaned her face, brushed out her hair and used the lavatory. Then she applied a minimum of make-up, clicking open the powder compact that played a faint, tinkling tune: ‘La Vie en rose’.”
