- The Dressmaker by Bonnie Greer 1999 about designer Jean Edwards from Jamaica. https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/416d46ec08d846349829b3b1be9542ba
- Little Lifetimes by Jenny Eclair Series 2 A Slight Alteration, https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/b06rzbwt
- Inspector Chen Series 2 2. Red Mandarin Dress https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/b08cq790
Wasn't there also a Coco Chanel docu-drama?

Since @forgetit actually took the time to engage (bravery award incoming), I’ll let this stay, just in case anyone out there has ever dreamed of a high-fashion FM frequency. A long shot? Absolutely. But stranger things have happened.
