war might be over, but in the second half of the 1940s was all about belt-tightening. One can hardly blame the girl, fashion-conscious desire for a bit of glitter. Pushed too far by the Royal Navy in gray flannel utility wear, a young Wren dozes off and is tormented by dreams of modeling for Norman Hartnell, the first British designer of the time. Cue a medley of fun interviews, exercise and makeover. Curiously, it is to suffer, rather than enjoy the process seems, however, the narrator takes joy funny they make gentle.
