It took 350 women 7 weeks to make the Queen’s Hartnell wedding gown. She paid with clothing coupons. Fans sent their coupons too, but all were returned as it was illegal to transfer them. #frockingFabulous via Royal Collection Trust. #platinumjubilee

Final preparations underway for my conversation with Jessica Au on Tuesday 5 April, 6pm at Self Presentation, as part of the @paperback_books Salon Series.
There is so much to say about this spectacularly good novel. It requires all the post-its and index cards.
