She is really enjoying it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-fashion-related-read#post-2004480 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 09:53:30 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2004480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might give this to my mom. She likes reading about WWII and about the British royalty. This sounds like it combines them in a way she might like. (My last attempt at putting a twist on her interests was a book about a different war--The Badass Librarians of Timbuktu. It was a full, complete, solid fail. I don't think she even read a page.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-fashion-related-read#post-2001044 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 13:30:18 +0000 Aquamarine 2001044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks....will add it to my list! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-fashion-related-read#post-2000705 Sun, 10 Feb 2019 10:02:10 +0000 Style Fan 2000705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the suggestion.&nbsp; I will have to put this on my list of books to read.&nbsp; I am reading An Odyssey by Mendelsohn.&nbsp; It is excellent.&nbsp; I have read The Odyssey by Homer (several times) but it is not a requirement to enjoy the book.&nbsp; Mendelsohn book is very rich and explores his relationship with his father. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-fashion-related-read#post-2000689 Sun, 10 Feb 2019 06:57:28 +0000 Anonymous 2000689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for bringing this book to our attention.

Good reminder though. Sounds like a fun read. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-fashion-related-read#post-2000066 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 12:54:04 +0000 Carla 2000066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fans of 'Call the Midwife', 'Downton Abbey', 'Foyle's War', and 'The Crown' will enjoy the recently released book by Jennifer Robson titled 'The Gown'. It is an enjoyable bit of fiction woven around real life events in post war 1947 London. The main characters are two embroiderers working at the fashion house of Norman Hartnell when that house gets the commission of making then Princess Elizabeth's wedding gown.</p> <p>This book is an enjoyable easy read and though not without some shadows, would make a good choice for a book club needing something on the lighter side. </p> <p>I'm off to find the biography of Norman Hartnell titled 'Silver and Gold', having had my interest piqued by the sketch of him from 'The Gown'. Has anyone read a good biography of Dior (who is also mentioned in the book)? Any good biography's of other designers that are also a good read? </p>
