There is a slight difference in a woman’s way of dressing before and after marriage, too. I would not advise anyone to wear big jewels and expensive furs before marriage.

Still, it’s a fun little read, and I’ll put it on my bookshelf along with my other fashion and etiquette books. I read it so that you don't have to. The book is pretty and has very little content - all platitudes, some of them mildly interesting. If you really want to learn about vintage fashion from a vintage book, choose A Guide to Elegance: For Every Woman Who Wants to Be Well and Properly Dressed on All Occasions or ABC of Men's Fashion. Everything I know, see or hear; every part of my life is transformed into dresses. They are my dreams, but they have passed from dreamland into the world of everyday items to wear…” ~ Christian Dior ♡It is a good idea to have one umbrella and many covers for it – then you can have a colour that goes with every outfit.

When you have a favorite dress there is no reason why you should not wear it often. It is much better to have few clothes but good ones (…) You can dress to suit yourself – and therefore your age – but this does not mean that you have to wear clothes that make you look old. Elegance is not dependent on money. Of the four things I have mentioned above, the most important of all of them is care. Care in choosing your clothes. Care in wearing them. Care in keeping them.When I was young, women used much more perfume than they do now and I think that was wonderful and I regret now that more women don't use it lavishly now.

But it is possible for a woman to be elegant without spending very much money on her clothes, if she follows the basic rules of Fashion and is careful to choose the clothes that suit her personality. Just like the other colors, there is a shade of yellow for everyone--but you have to take the trouble to find it. And above all – care for your clothes. You cannot be well groomed if your clothes are not well cared for. Accent First you must study yourself. Learn to know what suits you and what does not. And study your own needs. Find the colours that flatter you and emphasise your looks. Avoid the colours that do nothing for you.A ballgown is your dream, and it must make you a dream… wearing a beautiful ballgown you become a real woman; all femininity, daintiness and sweetness.”

The accent must always have the touch of your personality … The place you put a clip … The way you tie a bow … How you fold your scarf … The colour you choose for your flower … I also enjoyed learning new fashion terminology like Princess Line (I never knew that style was called that) and Persian Lamb (a fur I have never heard about). An accent is that little personal touch which makes a dress designed by a couturier your own dress. It is of great importance. There are also grandmothers – but it is only necessary to dress as a grandmother if you have a certain kind of figure and lead a certain kind of life.)With your personal feeling no one can do it better than you … But, be careful, one accent is enough. And if you choose a colour accent, select it with great care – and remember that except in the hands of an expert two colours in one outfit is enough. And the most useful design is a dress with a décolleté – and a bolero or spencer. Any sort of material is good – from wool to lace. Any sort of bodice, and any kind of skirt – slim or full, it depends on your figure and the kind of life you lead.

Of course, it would take volumes to cover the entire field of Fashion, but I have compiled a book which I think is neither too long, so that it becomes tedious, nor too short so that it seems insufficient, and I have called it my ‘Little Dictionary of Fashion’.
