So, here's my plan so far

When I saw todays Rate the Dress it instantly reminded me of our previously-purple bedroom: not because it is necessarily awful, even really the same colour, but because it is a lot of purple, and because friends said of our bedroom that colour might be really nice in something else, but not as a bedroom.** Last week: a 1920s day dress in printed silk It was very easy to tell what people would give as a rating for last weeks dress, depending on what words you used for it

At least we can decide if we think it is a sartorial win or not
