My first ever shopping splurge was a DVF dress when I got a good job so I have a special place for her. I still wear the dress too! Lovely pics thank you. Annie x.
ReplyDeleteYes Annie I have a couple of her pieces as well. Always lovely classic pieces and you know she is credited with designing the 'wrap-a-round' dress which is always a staple in her range.
