AdmireThis little book; a reprint of a 1900s fashion and beauty manual; is a highly enjoyable and enlightening - often in fascinating ways - view; right from the source; as to how the Edwardians considered that the fashionable woman should dress and adorn herself. One little note that caught my eye early on in the book was a surprisingly (in view of the mores of the time) frank and nonjudgmental acknowledgment that (remember this is the first decade of the 20th century were talking about) if a woman didnt make herself attractive to her husband through dress and other means; then it was (in the authors opinion) no surprise whatever if said husband strayed. High society tended to be blaseacute; about such things if conducted with discretion - notably; the book is dedicated to Daisy; Countess of Warwick; one of the most famous of King Edward VIIs mistresses and one of the leading society beauties of her day. Aside from that; the book contains a lot of interesting data on various facets of fashion (such as color and material) that should be of definite usefulness to people who reconstruct Edwardian dress as a hobby or for theatrical purposes.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
