Sometimes She Would Shop

Yesterday evening I watched Turn Back Time, the first time I’d watched any episode all the way through. (I can’t stand Greg Wallace and all that phoney ‘this is very serious and important’ stuff he does with dramatic pauses for no drama at all.) I’m surprised to see that the series is being plugged as genuine history rather than reality TV. Try BBC

Thank you! I last wore it to someone's sixtieth birthday do. Those buttons are a terrible fiddle to do up.

I thought it must be that one! It is very cool.

Wow, a compliment indeed.
One of the shops in the programme was selling seventies clothes and was besieged by the cool young women of Shepton Mallet.

Beautiful dress. I can see why it has escaped the purges.

Thank you. The fabric, the cut, the attention to detail are great and all at high street prices I could afford.

That's so lovely!
I had one in the same style but black. From Biba no less,my one and only designer label :-)

Thank you! We're a good vintage :-) I had a lovely skirt from Bus Stop, too: long-ish, purple crepe, bias cut.

Classic!

I remember those buttons! i also remember buying a dress at Biba. I don't think that i ever bought from Bus Stop - only imitations - but i had a dress with buttons like that for over twenty years

Some things don't date.
