Revue de presse :

I worked with Deirdre Clancy on Mrs Brown. She managed to dress me as Queen Victoria on an unbelievably low budget with one dress and a lace collar and made it look like an entire wardrobe. She is the most wonderfully inventive and brilliantly talented designer. --Dame Judi Dench

A very interesting book, particularly from a historical point-of-view. --Workshop on the Web
