Lucy Worsley's red dress

[kittyispretty]

just watched historian Lucy Worsley on telly about the regency era.Does anyone regonise her fab red dress with the bow ?.I do love her style and i'm sure her cardi was a boden one.

[higgle]

I thought exactly the same - can anyone help?

[Elemental]

Oh yes, I was wondering that! Lovely dress.

[kittyispretty]

she mentions that the dress was called 'beau' and that she had 2 copies lasting from january to july,but apart from that i am non the wiser cant even find a pic of her in it to link

[noddyholder]

Hated the dress but fab show!

[tethersend]

Are you sure it was 'beau' and not 'bow'?

[tethersend]

Is it this one?

[tethersend]

If so, I'm with noddy

[LucyWorsley]

tethersend: Yep, you've got it. Beau from Hobbes, in cranberry.

[tethersend]

Oh, this is awkward.

[LucyWorsley]

Whoops, confusing my seventeenth-century philosophers and my chain stores. Meant Hobbs.

[tethersend]

Is that the real Lucy?

'Real' inasmuch as we could all be hairy handed truckers called Dave, I mean

[worldgonecrazy]

I disagree with tethersend even though she's normally a style goddess. I think it would be quite flattering for someone who is a particular shape, especially around the thighs, as it gives the illusion of an hourglass figure. I like the dress.

[meltedchocolate]

but for anyone who is top heavy it would be a disaster!!

[Elemental]

Ah, that would look dreadful on me, but it really, really suited Lucy. I also love her style - is that really you?

luce

I loved your book. and the show.
and just carry on.. as you were

[kittyispretty]

cripes,thanks soo much for finding it.I do feel honoured if that is the real Lucy.

[Mumsnut]

If only it had no wool in it

[LadyClariceCannockMonty]

A bit off-topic but, is it just me or does Lucy dress a bit old for her age? She's the same age as me but seems to have fully embraced 40-50-year-old dressing ...

or possibly I should stop kidding myself and give up the skinny jeans and Converse

[Mumsnut]

You should ask her, Lady C. She's about 7 posts above you.

[LadyClariceCannockMonty]

[tethersend]

Cheers for taking the heat off me though, LadyC

[higgle]

Yes, it is the real Lucy - I emailed her publicist and she posted on here with the information - and emailed me back to confirm - how lovely.

[LadyClariceCannockMonty]

Yes, tethers, you owe me a pint I think.

[tethersend]

Actually, I think we should probably both buy Lucy one

I like that dress but not sure why Hobbs have styled it with a belt, doesn't look right with that one to me.
