Some like it hot

A fab little find to share with you. I am rather excited to show you my 70's secretary dress. Isn't she a beauty? Full length picture to follow but here's a sneek peek...

I'm very pleased with the dress despite looking miserable

The label says made in England, I always get a little excited when I see that. A lost industry.
I wonder where it's been and what it has seen. I like to imagine the history of my little finds. I almost want to name it, would that be taking it too far? I'm thinking it should be the 'Veronica' dress.


£1.50 of sheer history and polyester! Thankfully I don't smoke because I expect near a naked flame this dress could be dangerous. I say this only half jokingly. What fool sets fire to their dress? Well it happened to me. I sat on a tea light!! Fortunately it was a cotton dress that also had a few layers of material. My dress actually caught fire and I had to smack my backside to put it out. The dress was harmed more than my flesh you will be glad to hear, so no trips to the hospital needed. Can you imagine that?
