I love that it’s possible to wear longer dresses this season. People here are coming out in them as soon as the sun shines. And I love swishing skirts. These look as if they would be marvellous to swirl around in. Though I’m not sure what happens when you sit down.

And I do think this is one instance where shape shouldn’t echo shape. I may have a triangle shape body, but I don’t think I would look good in these triangle shape clothes ! More like a mountain with foot hills. . .

I’m intrigued with how these are made, though I wouldn’t be happy wearing them myself.

But great fun for those with the panache to carry it off
