Dress, Memory by Lorelei Vashti

4.0

A memoir that will resonate with thirty-somethings from Brisbane who now live in Melbourne (e.g. me). The hook - linking particular stories with dresses that embody moments or periods in the author's life - is nicely done (although not quite as effective as the story snippets on Lorelei's original blog. The memoir charts the highs and lows of Vashti's twenties and teeters on the brink of being angst-ridden but somehow manages to keep its balance, resulting in a funny, sad, warm and eminently readable book.
