Description:
A Bridgerton superfan with a £6k wardrobe of period clothing says strangers constantly mistake her for an extra.<br/><br/>Sophie Andrews, 28, spent 10 years curating a regency wardrobe.<br/><br/>She owns 25 day dresses and 10 ballgowns -which are all handmade by her friend and fellow regency enthusiast, Abigail Rose, 33. <br/><br/>Sophie says she often gets mistaken for dressing specifically as a Brigerton character - and says people even think she's filming for the series.<br/><br/>She is looking forward to watching the latest season of Bridgerton where the protagonist, Penelope, is plus size like herself. <br/><br/>Sophie, an author, from Reading, Berkshire, said: “I’ve always loved Penelope as a character because she was on the side lines and not seen as pretty.<br/><br/>“I’m a larger girl so it will be nice to see that character coming into her own and getting her happy ending despite being seen as a wallflower who’s considered as pretty as the other characters.<br/><br/>“She deserves her happy ending, but I’m not sure about Collin, her love interest. He’ll have to impress me.<br/><br/>“I’ve watched every series with my best friend Abigail, and I suspect we’ll be staying up at midnight together to watch the first part of the new season.<br/><br/>“I’ve got very used to being out and about and people talking to me. It doesn’t faze me.<br/><br/>“People now stop me to speak about Bridgerton and I even get people asking if I’m filming something.”<br/><br/>Sophie has had a passion for regency clothing since she was 18 but says the rise of Bridgerton has led to a fresh attitude towards the period. <br/><br/>\

The close of Fund II brings her firm’s total assets under management to $228 million, a size Quintini believes is a “Goldilocks” fit for the work she and cofounder Roseanne Wincek want to do. <br/><br/>“If you’re managing a billion dollars, the math works against you,” she said during a sitdown interview at the Forbes studio. “At our fund size, we can write checks for $10 million, orin some cases have single digit percentage ownership that makes sense for our fund math… I’d much rather own a bite of a watermelon than the whole grape. Let’s optimize for opportunities to say yes to great founders.” Quintini also dished on what aspiring founders—of companies and venture firms alike—need to know about operating in 2024.<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
