As an artist, yes. 7 00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:05,470 She wasn't trying to run a fashion house. 8 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,840 I'm too mad. 9 00:01:11,841 --> 00:01:15,449 sleep here. There are better ways of spending the night, Bessie.

Thank you. 17 00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:35,530 Mrs. Lily wanted us to know her tea gown was a stunning success. 18 00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:40,030 Why she had to insist on silk saccade when she could have had it in silk 19 00:01:40,650 --> 00:01:43,420 Not all our customers want to pay for silk velvet, Evie. 20 00:01:43,530 --> 00:01:45,710 The effect is so much more elegant. 21 00:01:46,690 --> 00:01:47,970 It's what she asked for. 22 00:01:48,750 --> 00:01:52,470 If people want exciting designs, they have to have exciting fabrics. 23 00:01:53,310 --> 00:01:56,020 Rubbing around with cheap materials simply won't do. 24 00:01:56,021 --> 00:02:01,029 First they have to trust us. Then, when they're established clients... We'll be 25 00:02:01,030 --> 00:02:03,740 a stuffy old fashion house making stuffy old clothes. 26 00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:07,829 Evie, that is not fair. Some of your ideas are wonderful, but we have to be 27 00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:08,880 practical. 28 00:02:08,881 --> 00:02:12,699 Perhaps we should follow Molyneux's example. The same design at different 29 00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:13,750 prices. 30 00:02:13,751 --> 00:02:17,199 I feel all women have the right to dress the way they choose. 31 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,250 Like Mrs. Lilly. 32 00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:23,659 She's a valued customer, Evie. She dresses like an Edwardian, Eve. She is a 33 00:02:23,660 --> 00:02:27,060 faithful client, and if we are to survive... Don't be such a pessimist. 34 00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:30,800 Our new collection will be so original, so chic. 35 00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:33,760 They'll be queuing around the square. 36 00:02:33,761 --> 00:02:38,999 About Pennington, girls. Well, we're not Pennington. In fact, the other house is 37 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,740 the owner. Tilly, you're late. 38 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,390 You realise your mum was bad and Albert's gone down with the crook. 39 00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:48,600 Oh, come on, Tilly. We all know he was dancing all night at Quaglino. 40 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,360 Did you see that the Americans have made it illegal to stare into Parker's eyes? 41 00:02:58,540 --> 00:03:01,280 They passed a law within the paper. 42 00:03:02,340 --> 00:03:04,360 Come on, girls. There's a lot to do. 43 00:03:04,361 --> 00:03:09,119 But Dickinson can warm you with a little telephone, insisting he didn't send a 44 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,770 cell phone. But I found several flaws in the material. 45 00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:14,260 I'll talk to him. See? 46 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:22,479 There was snagging in the shop's 47 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,710 built, Mr Dickinson. I saw it with my own eyes. 48 00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:30,920 No, it definitely wasn't one of my goals. It was in the role, Mr Dickinson. 49 00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:32,900 Well, Evie, it's very nice. 50 00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:35,510 But... 51 00:03:37,930 --> 00:03:41,709 Well, we have to strike a balance between being original and what our 52 00:03:41,710 --> 00:03:42,760 will accept. 53 00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:45,830 Evie, we should be trying to design for all kinds of women. 54 00:03:46,370 --> 00:03:52,750 Bea, our collection cannot be original. If you keep on... Not evicted, I hope. 55 00:03:53,130 --> 00:03:54,180 So, Jack. 56 00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:56,400 We were just having a little...

Of course they are, Evie. 80 00:05:07,690 --> 00:05:10,640 But they have to be tempered with a bit of commercial sense. 81 00:05:10,641 --> 00:05:14,329 And be as conservative as the rest of the London designers. 82 00:05:14,330 --> 00:05:16,680 I don't think I'd call Beatrice conservative. 83 00:05:16,681 --> 00:05:20,489 You should get back to the office.

All based on a small number of motifs. 181 00:13:28,411 --> 00:13:32,289 I was thinking if we could find a similar motif to unify our collection. 182 00:13:32,290 --> 00:13:33,490 Very interesting, Evie. 183 00:13:34,590 --> 00:13:36,650 I feel this needs stiffening.

The whole point is the pattern follows the 189 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,939 natural contour. 190 00:13:54,940 --> 00:13:57,659 Well, that's all right if you're young and athletic. What about our older 191 00:13:57,660 --> 00:13:59,520 clients, those with fuller figures? 192 00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:03,020 All you ever do is criticise my ideas. 193 00:14:03,980 --> 00:14:05,030 Where are yours? 194 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,490 I have been working while you were at the museum. 195 00:14:07,491 --> 00:14:10,959 Worrying whether we've been overcharged. It took me three thousands for a 196 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,010 ribbon. 197 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,650 As a matter of fact, I have just secured an order. 198 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,930 Where are you from? 199 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,370 Lady Latimer. 200 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,050 Very good. 201 00:14:19,051 --> 00:14:22,919 What type of order?

Egypt? I have seen some fabulous African jewelry. A baby party. 205 00:14:32,460 --> 00:14:35,020 I tried to turn it down, but Lady Latner insisted. 206 00:14:35,021 --> 00:14:41,039 Swaddling clothes, bibs, a little white bonnet. She promised she would come to 207 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,059 us exclusively. 208 00:14:42,060 --> 00:14:45,599 And two dozen outfits at 12 guineas each. Well, Evie, I consider that a good 209 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:51,750 order. Bea, we are a family. How could you turn it into a theatrical costume, 210 00:14:51,751 --> 00:14:54,709 yes? It's all very well for you to be high -principled. You let me worry about 211 00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:57,480 the business side of things. Don't treat me like a child. 212 00:14:57,610 --> 00:14:59,960 I would never have accepted such a commission. 213 00:14:59,961 --> 00:15:02,349 You won't even discuss money with the clients. 214 00:15:02,350 --> 00:15:04,830 That's because you are so much better at it. 215 00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:08,320 Has it ever occurred to you that I also enjoy discussing design? 216 00:15:08,530 --> 00:15:13,809 I find it very boring always to haggle suppliers, nag people about their unpaid 217 00:15:13,810 --> 00:15:14,829 accounts. 218 00:15:14,830 --> 00:15:17,840 Keep the books, check expenses, make sure there's no waste. 219 00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:19,870 We could hire a bookkeeper. 220 00:15:20,430 --> 00:15:21,950 How could we afford one? 221 00:15:24,970 --> 00:15:28,590 Bea, I want us to move forward. 222 00:15:29,070 --> 00:15:31,210 An order like this can only hold us back. 223 00:15:31,770 --> 00:15:33,490 You mean I'm holding you back? 224 00:15:35,950 --> 00:15:37,000 Sometimes. 225 00:15:38,270 --> 00:15:40,830 We used to work so well together. 226 00:15:41,570 --> 00:15:45,639 Now... You seem to think anything I do is either too expensive or too avant 227 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,080 -garde. That isn't true, Evie. 228 00:15:47,081 --> 00:15:50,979 My only criticism is that you don't give enough consideration to the client we 229 00:15:50,980 --> 00:15:55,339 cater for. You fly from one idea to the other. I am trying to develop a style of 230 00:15:55,340 --> 00:15:57,040 my own. You're not ready for it yet. 231 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,890 You certainly have the imagination, but you don't have the experience. 232 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,480 And you think I'll get it sewing baby clothes. 233 00:16:05,780 --> 00:16:09,499 We are a business, Evie. Sometimes we have to accept... I don't! You do what 234 00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:10,820 ought to act responsibly! 235 00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:18,499 I suppose we look at things differently because... Well, because you... You are 236 00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:19,560 12 years younger. 237 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,760 There is no arguing with you, is there? 238 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,340 When you get like this, I feel so... stifled. 239 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,130 Evie. 240 00:16:30,131 --> 00:16:33,739 I have never tried to... We're together all the time. No wonder we get on top of 241 00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:34,419 each other. 242 00:16:34,420 --> 00:16:35,470 What do you suggest? 243 00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:41,120 Well, maybe...
