Yes, me too ... the mother of a very good friend of mine worked in there for years.
Also Le Dells .. have had some lovely dresses from there in my late teens.
My lifelong friend was only very tiny, and very tight dresses had just come into fashion.. you know the ones that went right under yer bum on the curves. She had to have lots of her clothes altered to fit. Have had many arguments (in support) with the lady that did the alterations as she would express her disapproval of this look, whilst we instructed "Tighter, tighter !" Had to learn how to do very tiny steps though
