More on Linzi in Lindt

Women with a sweet tooth should look away now. A designer to the stars has created the ultimate Christmas party dress for chocoholics...made from 1,000 luxury chocolate balls. (read all about it and see the pics at the daily mail...)

Lindka Cierach, who designed the Duchess of York's wedding dress, said her new design took several weeks of planning, and is made from 79,000 calories worth of Lindt chocolate balls and crystals.

"The Lindor Dress is the ultimate party dress that you can unwrap and indulge in," she said.

But the dress would be an expensive sweet treat. The bespoke gown would set you back £3,500.

The award-winning designer chose electric rock violinist Linzi Stoppard (daughter-in-law of playwright Sir Tom Stoppard) to launch the dress. Lindka said: "Linzi is an ideal choice - she is talented, beautiful and a fellow chocoholic."

A spokesman for Swiss chocolatier said: "We have never had a dress made from our chocolate anywhere in the world before, and as Lindor is very popular with females in particular, we feel it's very appropriate."
