In my previous post, I mentioned lounging around in a blue panne velvet Janice Wainwright for Simon Massey dress. Well, I didn’t mention that I have a photo of the aforementioned dress in Vanity Fair magazine (above). I might have to scan in the entire issue, partly because it’s falling apart and partly because it’s one of my favourite issues of anything, ever.

I'm really feeling anything velvet at the moment. I bet your dress is amazing! Have a great evening xx
It's wonderful and I bet you look even better in it. Blue velvet is so classy. xxx
Hi there-thats a fabulous dress, I bet you look amazing in it too! xx
You find such amazing images. I would never see these if it weren't for you.
You really need to write a vintage source book. I've never seen anyone who can trace things back the way you can. x
Oh very moody and love a bit of velvet – will happily be your model any time!
Thank you all for your lovely comments, I'm just so glad if anyone other than me appreciates something I might find along the way. I just enjoy being geeky really… π
