I've only gone and...

[Moneyspider]

completely indulged my sound of music fantasy

Was going to wear with tan courts and belt for summer weddings, but suspect may have to either return or find flight of steps nearby to do doe-mi-mi,
mi-soh-soh, rae-fah-fah, lah-ti-ti.

That is definitely a Sound of Music dress .

"professional spot clean only" so do not wear around the DC

I love it tho, I like a nice summer frock I do.

I can't see any beads or sequins

That is ludicrous - after you've worn it once it will never be properly clean

Sweaty armpit smell for ever. Might as well be wearing a sofa.

I like my clothes to get wet before I wear them again (if close to the skin like a dress, I can just about put up with a dry clean jacket)

fgs, it's only silk. It'd get bunged in the wash, inside out in a pillow case like everthing else.

i think its lovely, pretty, subtle colours

In which case, Kristina, you can be Louisa. I'm Liesel.

That's gorgeous - I love it!!

thanks, brigita meerkat

That makes one think of the Hon Kirstie Allsop, no?

Pretty.
