A woman's guide to classic elegance: Bought this book many years ago, and it has served me well throughout changes in wardrobe due to career, personal finance, climate, and size!! Don't be turned off by the 1993 publication date!! If you are interested in making what you have work and long for a simple, elegant look which is timeless (a la Audrey H.), apply her advice to your next shopping spree. Chances are there are some jewels already in your closet which her hints will help you uncover. I wish I could afford to hire her to be my personal wardrobe manager!!
Truly helpful, but ...: Feldon's book will help you to organize your wardrobe and make wiser fashion purchases, but much of her advice is predicated on two assumptions: that everyone looks good in black (not true and boring besides!)and that everyone should/wants to dress like Audrey Hepburn.
Good light reading for great simplication of your wardrobe.: This is a great book to have in your library as the fashion advice is as timeless as the classic fashion of mavens like Audrey Hepburn. The book is well written, witty, and full of information on finding the "you" in fashion or basic everyday attire. If you want to simplify your clothes, start here and not at "Chic Simple..."
Good advises on care for garments: "Dress like a million" is a good reference for any woman who wants to put together a wardrobe. Although the fashion presented in the book became already obsolete, some trends may even come back this season - the volumes and amplitude, I particularly liked the book from the practical approach: advises on how to care for garments, how to choose a certain garment and the quality of fabrics: silks, wools, velvets, cottons but also how to maintain them.
A Great Book!: Love that this book is finally available in paperback. It was written a few years ago, but all the advice and tips really hold up. A classic---deserves to be in print forever! Contains totally useful information delivered in the same fun witty style as "Does This Make Me Look Fat?"---Feldon's latest book, which was featured on Oprah. Really helps you zero in on a personal style and get your wardrobe together. Highly recommended. I already own the hard cover, now I think I'll get a few of these for x'mas gifts!
