Deadline reports that the actress will join forces with her 'Girls' co-star Jenni Konner to develop a new series, 'All Dressed Up And Everywhere To Go' for the HBO cable network.

Set in New York, the story will be based on the memoir of "long-time Bergdorf Goodman personal shopper and New York institution Betty Halbreich." The project will give an in depth look into the life of Halbreich who has made her career out of dressing the rich and famous.

Still going strong at age 85, Halbreich can still works at her Bergdorf-based personal shopping service, which she began in 1976. According to the report, she has dressed such socialites and stars as Joan Rivers, Meryl Streep, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katie Couric and Glenn Close.
