 What do you do when you inherit a priceless vintage clothing collection from her godmother.Well first you pinch yourself to make sure you are not dreaming then you go on to publish this book with illustrations of each dress and the little story that goes along with it.

*UPDATE*
People asked me where they can buy these titles from and yes it is difficult to come across in book stores so I suggest you go to www.flipkart.com .
They stock all imported books and they are not at all expensive specially after the discount they give. They also have an option between Hardcover and Paperback on certain books, paperbacks being cheaper of course
I am totally in love with this site. The best part is that they have a CASH ON DELIVERY option!!
