What Dress Makes Of Us by Dorothy Quigley is a book that explores the impact that clothing has on our lives and our identities. Quigley delves into the history of fashion and how it has evolved over time, as well as the psychological and sociological effects that clothing can have on the wearer and those around them. She examines the ways in which fashion can be used to express individuality, social status, and cultural identity, while also exploring the potential dangers of conforming to societal norms and expectations. Through personal anecdotes and insightful analysis, Quigley offers a thought-provoking commentary on the power of clothing and the role it plays in shaping our lives. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in fashion, culture, and the intersection of the two.She was from the middle-West, and despite the fact that she was married, and that twenty-one half-blown blush roses had enwreathed her last birthday cake, she had the alert, quizzical brightness of a child who challenges everybody and everything that passes with the countersign--Why? She investigated New York with unabashed interest, and, like many another superior provincial, she freely expressed her likes and dislikes for its traditions, show-places, and people with a commanding and amusing audacity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
