SYNOPSIS
Aiming to be a comprehensive encyclopaedia to every item a woman wears or carries and presented alphabetically in short chapters from accessories to zips. A wonderful and light-hearted step back in time to an era when the correct length of gloves, and how to wear alligator or mink were, to some at least, important considerations. Planning a country weekend, a ball or a cruise? This book is full of common sense, stimulating suggestions and reliable advice.
