Short description

Ada Harris, a London charwoman in the 1950's, sees a Dior dress and decides that she's going to own one. First, she scrimps and saves her money, but when she has enough, and takes a trip to Paris, she learns that buying an original couture creation is a little harder than simply plunking down cash. Along the way to her goal, she manages to befriend a count, unite young lovers, and dodge customs.

What's left behind the scenes

The film was nominated for an Emmy in the Best Costumes category (costume designer Jane Robinson) for recreating Dior dresses from the 1950s.
The date on the invitation to Buckingham Palace for the coronation ball is correct. June 5, 1953, did indeed fall on a Friday.
The red Ferrari 275 (a two-seater sports car produced from 1964 to 1968) belonging to the friend of the character played by Tamara Gorski was released in 1965, whereas the film is set in the 1950s.
