Meryl Streeps signature look from the 2008 film gets an origin story of its own inMamma Mia!

The garments first appearance, teased in the video, is quite a defining moment, Clapton says.
It says quite a lot about her.
So what does this particular piece of denim communicate about its wearer?
It would have been wrong [to have her] in pretty dresses all the time.
Its part kid and part worker and part fun, Streep sums up the look in the featurette.
Theres nothing that outfit wont do.
My, my, how can we resist it?
