THE Prime Minister's wife, Cherie Blair, should ignore criticisms about her choice of dress presented so ungraciously by the younger South African fashion writer, Lizeka Mda.
Cherie's sarong type dress was not dreadful. It was beautiful enough to wear anywhere, particularly fitting to wear at any London occasion, fitting to wear in any northern park even.
Mrs Blair is clever enough to ignore the catty, uncalled for remarks of the witty, unreal, inconsiderate headline seeking Lizeka.
Take your next holiday in the Seychelles Mrs Blair. Knock the jealous fashion critics for six. Wear the dress again and order several more dresses like it for good measure! The plunging tortoiseshell print with its wraparound skirt was adequate, comfortable etc. The publish in general must have thought the dress delightful. Lizeka Mda has awfully poor taste! Lizeka has a lot to learn.
