The dress shown is absolutely beautiful and I love learning about the history. I will look for the books at Barnes and Nobel or Amazon.

The must have been physically strong to wear a dress with so much fabric even then they were small in stature. Small waists.

Elizabeth, I went to Toby Coburn not FIT. They were big rivals, but I didn’t want any more reading, writing or arithmetic. I wanted fashion and boy was. I glad that I did this and I will buy your books.

🌳☯️🍏 This signature „Worth“ on Alberta’s dress looks exactly like what I remember from my mother’s small royal blue perfume phiole in the Sixties - the scent was a chypre style, also a bit herbal and musky - right down my perfume alley.

So great, that they have tried to reconstruct the original scent - though like with Single Malt Whisky, the whole environment of the ingredients make a such a difference in its taste and scent.

I suppose, this might be one of the reasons, why nowadays wellknown perfume brands don’t smell any more like several decades ago.

Unless they have taken off marketnot been „updated“ to modern perfume goût and have lost their original magic due to that!

Elisabeth‘s two books are also on German Amazon - so exiting, that they are going to arrive on Thursday! 🍏💕🌳
