I still prefer the red version, but it’s nice to see someone else wandering around London in a flamboyant Biba dress…especially one seen adorning Paula Wilcox in Man About The House. And one I have flounced around in myself, although not nearly enough for my liking.


Love your site, always find it so entertaining. I bought a black crepe Ossie Clark from you about 3 years ago. Yes I noted the dress Lily Allen was wearing. I do remember having something very similar myself although more fitted on the waist and hips, in a pale powder blue crepe, it was a very beautiful dress.
I've become quite enamored with the "Shag" hairstyle as pictured in the older photos in the post. Seems like that style was popular in the early '70s. I first saw it on Jane Fonda in KLUTE.P.S. I've started a 1960s-70s blog, wish me luck…
I thought I recognised this dress, she looks good in it, I wonder what kind of shoes she wore?
Smashingbird, I didn't get a good look but I think they were red?C.K I too am starting to warm to that haircut. But I am fairly sure I couldn't pull it off, so I will leave it to those pixie faced ladies who can! Good luck with the blog, although I doubt you need it. I will be checking it out for sure…Anon, thank you!!! Oooh, you don't often see pale blue crepe. A fact I only just realised when I read your comment….how odd!! π
Angst!! I love Paula,I love that frock!
Gorgeous dress and I'm beginning to like Lily…
That is really such a great dress- I love your version in red as well.
