that does hideously expensive Toile de Jouy nightwear
cashmere jumpers with Bardot-type necks in teenage sizes
1950s-style frocks in bold florals
eye-wateringly cute kid's stuff
etc

I think it's done by English woman/women based in France, and the pages are laid out with lots of little pictures of outfits all on one page, possibly on tailor's dummies.

I'm going nuts!
please tell me!

I know... luckily the summer stuff is a bit on the wishy-washy side for me so I'm not too tempted, but it means I can stick it back in my Bookmarks list and wait for the winter sale...

sometimes dressing prissy is good
means you can be bad underneath and no-one suspects
