Heartwarming, light storytelling, and charming movie. Being in the fashion business and a fashion historian there were plenty of designs from the Dior archives in this movie to enjoy.
It is a story of a war widow (Lesley Manville) who works as a house cleaner trying to help everyone she meets with people taking advantage of her kindness.
She saves enough money to go to Paris to purchase the Dior dress of her dreams which was 500 British pounds back then. She arrives at a perfect time when Monsieur Dior is presenting his Haute Couture collection and this is where the hilarity and a lot of heartwarming moments start with a Hollywood ending.
The supporting cast is wonderful and Lesley Manville gives a lovely performance.
