    A 1940's tea dress in whitewith a pretty red bow print. I reckon she was going to copy it for a Peacock's design.

    Yes, I imagine so. The stuff always looks so nice in magazines but rarely lives up to expectations. Ah well.

    Have you read her autobiography, All That Glitters? It's refreshingly honest and I really admired her for coming clean about her addictions and not blaming anyone else.

    I'm pleased I got the funky sleeved dress - it's about the only thing I've seen in the range that's nice fabric. Weighs a ton though!

    Ooh no I haven't read that but it sounds really interesting. I have the world's biggest to-read pile at the moment though and it's just been made bigger by a couple of bags of books that a friend gave me. Might get through them before Christmas!
