Thank you. I am transfixed by the British monarchy, and now you add another layer of style and charm. Just came back from wandering around SFA in New York, and I realize how much I like “Fall Style.”

My goal is a little Chanel Jacket – after world peace of course

I’ll keep my eye out for books you might like and send along the recommendations. The whole cost benefit equation needs explaining to most men, so I’m glad Trevor is getting his education – I’m sure he looks lovely in a bias cut dress!

I love that Trevor can now understand why a bias-draped dress fits better and why it costs so much.

It’s true: I finally know why I look so much better in one ;)

Joking aside, I have enjoyed looking at the fashion books with Sherry and learning about its historical and cultural history. Please keep recommending books, expensive or not!

Dior and Schiaparelli are my favorite designers, but I lack full books on either (though I do have a lot of the Tierney fashion doll books). Unfortunately the two Dior books I want (the one you highlighted and one by Rizzoli) are out of print and pretty expensive to buy.

There’s so much to fashion that people don’t recognize. I love that Trevor can now understand why a bias-draped dress fits better and why it costs so much. It’s such a fascinating field.
