On my 16th birthday, Doris gave me the choice of anything I wanted from her collection. It was difficult picking one from all my favourites but this dark blue organdie 1950s dress with matching fingerless gloves was the standout.
Such timeless elegance made it the perfect choice for a swanky New Year’s Eve ball in Hong Kong almost a decade later. As I was to be escorted by my English cousin Nicholas, I was looking forward to staying at his luxurious apartment on The Peak almost as much as attending the ball. On arrival at Nick’s, his amah whisked my precious dress away. It was returned beautifully pressed, with every tiny lace flower standing to attention.
Feeling like a starlet as I draped my wrap around my shoulders, we sped off in Nick’s MG to the ball at Repulse Bay. Hosted by the Grenadier Guards in a sprawling colonial-style mansion, a full orchestra played as crowds of beautiful people danced or romanced on the wide verandah or in the beautiful lamplit gardens.
After midnight, four of us squeezed into the MG and roared back up The Peak, stopping to toast the spectacular view with French champagne in paper cups.
