A confession (of sorts) about The Dress

 WHEN I was a young 'un, I wanted to be Anne of Green Gables. Red hair, freckles, unique outlook on life, head in a book..

  I wasn't so keen on the orphan part you understand, but I loved her early feminist spirit, such as it was, and her determination to be better at everything than her arch-rival and true love Gilbert  Blythe.
