Niece of Shame
Last month I gave my 18 year old niece a dress of mine. I decided that it was inappropriate for a woman who's not getting any younger or any prettier.
She's youthful enough to carry it off well. I'm not, so off the pretty little dress went to a better home.
Well yesterday I saw my niece leaving my sister's house in the dress - she was going to a party. This dress clung to her for dear life. I said to my sister "Jesus, I can see her birth-mark". I was quite horrified actually. I mean, she did look lovely in it, but I can't imagine how I must have looked, stuff in it like a sausage - at my age!
Really!!

Hi August, I love your Blog, its just the sort of thing I need when I'm at work. It makes me laugh and makes me think. Also, I know this is a bit of a cheek but where did you get that dress? I'd love one just like it.

The dress came from a boutique in London's Liverpool Street called Good & Grace or Grace & Good. I can remember which way around it goes!
