As fantasy holiday destinations go, you could do worse than to dream of the South of France circa 1965. In
The Last Letter From Your Lover, the setting is as postcard-perfect as it gets, full of the sea, sailboats, bougainvillea – and immaculate Sixties couture. When socialite Jennifer Stirling (played by Shailene Woodley) visits, she beachcombs and bicycles in silk dresses, wide-brimmed straw hats and white gloves. One night, she hosts a dinner in a bubblegum-pink gown with a chiffon shoulder train that billows in the breeze, in just such a way that you can almost smell the salt coming off the sea.
