Of course we wanted to wear sophisticated clothes and peep-toe high heeled shoes, like the "common" Dulcie. According to this book, the way to get your man is to dress as a "Quaker" in grey, with white collars and cuffs. Yeah, sure! I skimmed through the book, sickened by the perfect Carsons. But if you like this one, you'll like Bond Street Story by Norman Collins. Lucy R.

Now I am seeing it again 40 years later. It actually looks good on the 1941 model as opposed to the 1970's leisure suits. I think you did look at leisure suits in one of your posts.

It sounds like an interesting look at the social life, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
