Currently Reading: The Lost Art of Dress


The Lost Art of Dress by Linda Przybyszewski

My Mom found this at the MFA shop over the weekend and picked it up for me because she know's how much I enjoy reading about the history of fashion. Linda Przybyszewski, a historian and expert dressmaker, looks at a group of women, known as the Dress Doctors, who taught American women how to dress well on every budget and for every figure with tips on dressmaking and classic patterns. It focuses on some of my favorite fashion time periods like the 40's and 50's and I'm hoping to pick up some fun retro fashion ideas. I'm only a couple of chapters in but I know this book is going to be a keeper for me.
