The

flowing
deep
red

"I
am
delighted
that
the
proceeds
from
the
auction
of
the
dress
will
make
such
a
useful
contribution
to
the
wonderful
work
of
Cardboard

Snack

"Vivienne
Westwood
created
the
dress
especially
for
me
for
this
occasion
and
it
is
a
really
beautiful
piece.
"I
hope
that
the
winning
bidder
enjoys
wearing
it
as
much
as
I
did,"
she
added.
The
charity
held
on
Feb
