Introduction...
"Much has been written about Fashion, in all its aspects, but I do not think any couturier has ever before attempted to compile a dictionary on the subject.
Of course, it would take volumes to cover the entire field of Fashion, but I have compiled a book that I think is neither too long, so that it becomes tedious, nor too short so that it seems insufficient, and I have called it my Little Dictionary of Fashion. I think it should be of great practical use to the women of today.
Many people dismiss haute couture as being something that is only for those who are very wealthy.
But it is possible for a woman to be elegant without spending very much money on her clothes, if she follows the basic rules of Fashion and is careful to choose the clothes that suit her personality.
Simplicity, good taste, and grooming are the three fundamentals of good dressing and these do not cost money.
First, you must study yourself. Learn to know what suits you and what does not. And study your own needs. Find the colors that flatter you and emphasize your looks. Avoid colors that do nothing for you.
Choose clothes that are simple in line and pay great attention to their fit.
And above all -care for your clothes. You cannot be well groomed if your clothes are not well cared for."
