It's the coolest, most-insufferably-irritating-to-all-her-friends-dress a girl could ever wear. It shimmers, crackles, sparkles, disturbs, creates attention, causes riots, stops traffic, blinds and deafens people. It comes in two pieces, which can be ironed with a very cool iron between two copies of the Times, in silver, gold,and all the colours of the rainbow (Solomon, in all his glory etc.) to be stuck together in five minutes with Sellotape any colour, any kind, any pattern. It's virtually indestructible except to a girl with a sharp pair of scissors, a maniac glint in her eye or eyes, and sufficient imagination to see that a hem can be slashed shorter, hearts, flowers, stars and moons cut in it and presents wrapped in it when she gets fed up of being the centre of attention. It's beauty. it's to-day and god knows it's cheap.\r\n\r\nlove and kisses from\r\n\r\nPAUL + Jonathan + Pam","type":"","note":"Typewritten letter to the purchaser.

Incadinc also designed inflatable furniture, includng a sofa and chair set designed by Paul Woods in 1968 (possibly the same \"Paul\" who signed the letter enclosed with this kit). The sofa cost £16 and the chair £9 at the time.\r\n\r\nRegistered File number 1995/285.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Dress kit, silvered plastic film (2 pieces and sheet of strengthers) in bag with instructions and letter, Incadinc, Great Britain, 1966-67","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["T.247:1-1995","T.247:2-1995","T.247:3-1995","T.247:4-1995","T.247:5-1995","T.247:6-1995"],"accessionNumberNum":"247","accessionNumberPrefix":"T","accessionYear":1995,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE","Dress kit [1]","Dress kit [2]","Dress kit [3]"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-22","recordCreationDate":"2009-06-24","availableToBook":true}}
