Those with a long memory might remember this as a Biba dress worn by Paula Wilcox in Man About The House (and also by Miss Peelpants occasionally around the house, as well as out of it…). I’m always inexplicably delighted to spot pieces I own or recognise in adverts of the time, although I think one for nutty chocolates has got to be a first…
Aww how lovely!
Hmmm, as I recall, those long button cuffs were a nightmare to whip off, ahem, after the last chocolate.
Lily Allen also wore this dress in the same banana yellow for the Ivor Novello awards a couple of years ago.
I haven’t edited for the new format but:

Curiously, one has just sold on ebay in dark blue but with the maternity Biba label. Mine just has the regular label, so I don’t know if they just relabelled some of the larger sized ones or actually produced some with more accommodating busts!
whoops, sorry Miss P, I should have known your eagle eye would have spotted it!
Not much gets past me*!!
*Actually quite a lot does. But not this one for some reason… 😉
