Having grown up working class, her lust for lace and linen leads Mary Saunders to prostitute herself. When sent to live with Mrs. Jones, a family friend, Mary leads an ordinary life as a seamstress for a while. But eventually it is clothes, their splendour and their deception, that lead Mary to disaster. Some strong language. 2001.
