I love them. When I was a teen somebody gave me a small one carved of mahogany. I called it Theophil and it “lived” for about 10 years in the pockets of my jeans until I lend it to a friend as a sign of good luck for his examn and the careless guy lost Theophil.

Oh .. And that Fred’s Mr. Dear plays often with the vicar ;-)
I saw similar dresses in the 70s.
