It's lovely when people get in touch to let me know what little treasures have crossed their path.
This beautiful striped skirt was found by a friend that lives in Lydney, just over the bridge. It was £5 from a charity shop but originally from Ralph Lauren, no less! Apparently it wasn't quite finished off correctly around the bottom so she added the black satin edging herself and it looks great. It will no be proudly used for a 1950's evening at the Dean Heritage Centre.
She won't mind me saying that she is a big fan of dressing up like myself but Mary takes it to a whole other level. She has some beautiful Victorian and Edwardian pieces in her collection (you can see one in the background). You could almost have a blog that was purely dedicated to her wardrobe!
So we have the stripes and Mary truly is a charity shop "star".
Mary will be delighted with the Dean Heritage Centre mention!
