Scope and content
The rumours that have reached Beaton about her dresses amount to 'careless talk'. Was thrilled to have Beaton design her dress for the finale and loves the lilies. The only change that was made was a crinoline put underneath the skirt, as it had a habit of 'taking all the band instruments out of the orchestra' in her trail and tripping her up and sitting her 'in the lap of some fat gentleman in the front row'. Asks if she could have some of Beaton's sketches to frame them.
