You may remember I posted about a documentary Beyond Biba back in October. I just received an email from the one of the producers of the film letting me know that they are releasing 1000 special edition DVD’s of the film, all orders will be posted out by the 14th December and the first 500 copies will be signed by Barbara Hulanicki herself.
So, if you’re stuck for ideas for a great Christmas present and want something out of the ordinary, then consider giving this.
NEW UPDATE: The producers are offering to give a signed copy of Beyond Biba DVD to one lucky Sew Tessuti winner!!! Simply answer the question below :
” The Pink Gingham dress which launched Biba in 1964 was a huge success but how many were sold in the first two weeks?”
Answers will be received by 12pm AEST, *Sunday 20th December, the winner will be chosen randomly and announced shortly thereafter.
PS. If you’re not a blogger please leave your name and an email address so that we can contact you.
Goodluck everyone.

Hello Colette,
I'd love to win this DVD too!!!
Biba sold 17,000 little pink gingham dress.
Hi Colette,
Biba sold 17,000 dresses for £1.25 (such an outfit would normally be priced at around £25, even in those frugal days), making a halfpenny profit on each and giving them enough money to open their first tiny shop.
