Virginia Woolf's Dress


"Happiness is to have a little string onto which things will attach themselves. For example, going to my dressmaker in Judd Street, or rather thinking of a dress I could get her to make, & imagining it made--that is the string, which as if it dipped looked into a wave of treasure brings up pearls sticking to it." - Virginia Woolf, diary, Monday 25th April, 1925

  1. Virginia Woolf can change an imaginary string into a dress with 'pearls sticking to it'. Wonderful image. Thanks, Ruth. For the quote and for the stencil.
