Why do I do this to myself? I’ve had about half a year or so (maybe I exaggerate) to go and see this exhibit, and what do I do? Leave it till the Saturday before it closes where on arrival I see that it is completely sold out. Doh! Thank goodness for the bookshop where I picked up the accompanying book. Although it may not be the same as seeing the actual exhibit, it’s still lovely to be able to pour over the pictures and wish I could own those clothes.

If only we could wear clothes like this everyday, not just on special occasions. It would be a bit of a nightmare on the tube, but we’d be the best dressed tube carriage ever.
