The dress is the last bit of femininity in our closets its the only item of clothing which most men and women dont share. Wearing a dress is a powerful way for women to express themselves--and every style conveys a different message. Inspired by the Eleanor Estes childrens classic The Hundred Dresses, Erin McKeans classic-to-be by the same title, with chic illustrations by Donna Mehalko, is a definitive look at the dresses, vintage and modern, that make an inarguable statement about the woman who wears them.Each evocatively illustrated entry identifies one of a hundred different dresses accompanied by a witty and informative look at the history of that particular style, famous wearers if applicable, and what message, subtle or overt, is conveyed by the dress.
