Some of my favourite things are the beautiful cotton print frocks they produced in the 1950s. I bought my first one in 1980 and I’ve loved them more and more with every year – cool and comfortable, they’re the perfect dress for a hot summer’s day and with care, will last for many more years.

Here’s Victoria swirling around in some of the current favourites – sized between 6 and 12 so many are clipped to her slim frame. Available in the shop now. Petticoats are also available – in white, red or black.
