‘Oh, Dulcie, you look ever so glamorous, just like a film star,’ Agnes gasped, awestruck as Dulcie twirled round the kitchen to show off her new dress. ‘It’s ever such a lovely frock.’

‘Of course it is,’ Dulcie agreed. ‘It’s Norman Hartnell. And it’s not a frock, it’s a gown.’

It was a beautiful dress, Olive acknowledged, as she watched the light catching on the thousands of tiny crystals sewn onto the midnight-blue silk, just a few sprinkled here and there on the bodice, growing in number the further down the skirt they were. It wasn’t just the fabric that made the dress so outstandingly glamorous, though. There was also the cut – on the bias – and, Olive thought privately, made for a girl who had been slightly more slender than Dulcie on the bust and the hip, so that its fit on Dulcie was such that any susceptible young male would be stopped in his tracks, Olive suspected. Not that it was in any way vulgar. That would have been impossible for such a dress. No, the overall effect was, as Agnes had so rightly announced, one of film-star glamour.
