A Maxi-dent Waiting to Happen

The current vogue for dressing as The Good Life’s Margo Leadbetter ‘I’m off to an afternoon soiree with the 70s jet set’ maxi dress has apparently ended in minor fashion disaster for two women in the workplace here. We noticed a Health and Safety warning was issued after one had ‘sustained a stair injury’ after treading on the hem of their garment whilst another had ‘sustained shoulder lacerations’ after someone else had stood on the hem while they were ascending stairs putting pressure on the shoulder strap of said garment and inflicting injury’. Maxi’s are a great look on Jerry Hall in 1970s après a day on the beach in Mustique with an Anthony Price clad Bryan Ferry on her arm, rather less glam on the wind-blown, grey and rainy streets of London town with an umbrella waiting for a 188 bus.
