Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This one-shoulder dress is divinely Martini-esque - it evokes images of a girl with a penchant for sticking large flowers in her hair while seductively sipping her shaken-not-stirred drink and walking arm- in-arm with her overtanned boyfriend, who wears see-through silk socks and drives a Trans-Am. Glorious. Quite how horrible I would look in such a dress is difficult to imagine. But if you have no fatty bits, then wear this roll on, roll off dress with a nice pair of glittery high-heeled sandals (for heaven's sake not flatties). Next week in this column: a summer dress for those of you who do have fatty bits. AB

One shoulder dress, pounds 26.99, style no: LH 1369 from the Empire spring/summer catalogue, available in sizes 10/12 and 14/16. Tel: 0345 200 400.
