When fashion sensation Anne Fogarty penned WIFE DRESSING: THE FINE ART OF BEING A WELL-DRESSED WIFE, little did she know the effect her words would have on generations of women. Nearly fifty years after its initial publication, much of this classic original text of the 1950s is as every bit as practical, humorous, and helpful today as it was then. A nostalgic throwback to days when women played the role of a wife just as dutifully as they donned layers of petticoats and cinched belts, Fogarty's joie de vivre is irresistible, no matter the era. An updated introduction by Rosemary Feitelberg contextualizes Fogarty's appeal within a broader social range and provides a behind-the-scenes look at one of America's most enduring fashion designers.

Complete with checklists that help chart a wardrobe plan and indispensable tips on everything from traveling to entertaining, this authoritative guide will strengthen every fashion I.Q. and aid in the search for the elusive quality of "chic." WIFE DRESSING includes helpful suggestions for avoiding fashion traps, wise spending, and even has quick remedies for banishing the "haven't-got-a-thing-to-wear mood," providing all the while that there is indeed a fine--and perhaps lost--art to looking good for every occasion..
