We all have 'that' memory of something that completely changed our lives. Whether it was a good or bad thing, these events often shake us up a bit and move us forward. I constantly harp on about the path we walk down and that sometimes we get thrown off into a different direction even if it feels bad at the time, but then it leads us to the path we should be on in the end...follow your yellow brick road!
When I talk to my clients, when I am sat with them looking over their wardrobe or gliding the rails in the shops for their latest styled outfit, they often pick out a few dresses that have a wonderful story attached to them.
I have three dresses I really can't get rid of, and a few I have swapped but it's been very emotional because of the sentimental value I hold with them. One dress I won't wear again but will keep- hopefully for my daughter or niece or goddaughter to have one day. It's the dress I wore to my best friend's wedding as her bridesmaid. I was living in Los Angeles at the time she asked me and she told me the type of style she wanted. Her wedding was very country vintage with beautiful flowers and pastel colours- her dress featured here (stunning) shows the theme perfectly.

I stumbled upon a quirky 1950s vintage store on Melrose and it just leapt out at me on the mannequin. Soft purple and sky blue floaty number, with two shoulder panels floating at the back and a net puff skirt. From the day of purchasing the dress, the story began of the run up to the wedding - all the things we did together as best friends and up to the actual day itself. What people said, the pictures, the dancing, the speech, the love and the emotions are all such fond memories, and I can just look at the dress hanging up in my bedroom as a feature like a painting, and all those lovely images and feelings come back to me.
Why not swap a dress with a story? Pop a note in the London Frock Exchange packaging and share the memories with us! If we each have a dress to give, we can replace it with a new one and therefore enhancing the story and the journey we take that frock on. A sort of 'passing the love and good memories on' to a new lady so she can make her own memories and story.
