FANTASY SHOPPING . . .

What a great idea this is, and not too expensive (I do try to balance Fantasy between the truly fantastical and the slightly more aspirational, so please be appreciative). If you get pregnant, or your mate does, you can go along to Harrods and get a Belly Basic Kit, "the maternity wardrobe- in-a-box". And now there are two new additions to the BB wardrobe (which already consists of the Pregnancy Survival Kit - a dress, leggings, tunic and skirt in black, white or chambray heather, pounds 139); they are the "Gets Cool" kit (sleeveless tank top and bike shorts in cotton/lycra in black, white or red, pounds 59) or the "So Ladylike" kit, a sleeveless shift dress in cotton / lycra and a pretty matching satin handbag. AB

"So Ladylike" in black only, pounds 99 available exclusively from Harrods' maternity department, Knightsbridge, London SW1, telephone: 0171 730 1234. In sizes small, medium and large.
