The first review of The secret Lives of dresses has shown up in my feed reader … from Sarah at the blog domestic Sluttery:
As the author of A dress A Day, Erin McKean conjures up the most beautiful descriptions of clothes, including a cherry pie print blouse that sent me directly to eBay. In Mimi’s shop, Dora finds that each item includes a story, and these were absolutely beautiful. The dress that is only for dancing, the dress that is for a very particular meeting…
Although certain elements of the plot were a little predictable for me, The secret Lives of dresses is a heart-warming and charming book that would make a great Christmas present for any vintage lover.
Thanks Sarah! Of course, the book isn’t out until February, but I assume they still have book tokens in the UK, right? (I used to love reading about book tokens in children’s books. and speaking of children’s books, the cover image at that post is for the UK edition — doesn’t it look very Noel Streatfeild? I am so lucky in my book covers …)
