Aquascutum on Sale

May 20, 2009 by WendyB

I’m loving the colors of this Aquascutum dress. It’s on sale at Browns for A£400, down from A£795.

Click the photo for more information.

UPDATED TO ADD: Thanks to gorgeous blogger Alix Rose for interviewing me. You can read it here. I’m amazed by the big, beautiful photos she uses. I have to crack the whip and get my blog redesign done so my blog can look as lovely as hers!

    aaaah! Aquascutum is so luxurious, and this dress has incredible form. the pruple and red go so well together. they’re so bright, and yet the dress is still elegant and understated. wonderful blog! x

    Who *wouldn’t* love those colors? And the way they’re pieced together? And the pleats? And the neckline? I could go on and on.

    What an awesome interview, WB! I love, love, love Antonia Fraiser- oh and Cath and I grew up watching Leslie Caron in Gigi. For the first couple of years we had no clue why she was so unhappy with getting all the jewels and gowns. I think we’ve got it now 😉

    ps- your Marie Antoinette ring is to die for (inspired by Antonia Fraiser’s bio, perhaps 😉

    Kickass interview! And can I just say how much I love your creative devotion to great women in history? And the intermingling of their personal stories with their popular legacies? For realsies. Some day, when I’m a rich woman, I’m going to commission a custom Boleyn style necklace from you — because you totally get why it’s awesome.
