Scope and content
Beaton has always had a flattering illusion of her. Until last week, had a lovely dress that Beaton might have thought possible for his collection, but has now sold it. Used to wear it to Embassy parties. The last time she enjoyed dressing in beautiful clothes was in Beaton's 'lovely creations' in "My Fair Lady". Has never cared for dressing in lovely clothes to go to parties. Has had to write this long reason for why she has nothing lovely enough for Beaton's collection.
