Of course, it would take volumes to cover the entire field of Fashion, but I have compiled a book which I think is neither too long, so that it becomes tedious, nor too short so that it seems insufficient. I think it should be of great practical use to the women of today.” ―from the introduction Review: Well worth the money - A hard cover book of cloth, nice quality. While fashion is a forever changing thing, like the sky, this book reveals way more than just fashion. It speaks of what makes a well-groomed person. Sage advice that girls and women need. Today, women and girls have no taste and look and act like slobs. And attitudes are vulgar. If you appreciate reading about the fashion sense, this book is for you. For example, the hats in this book are outdated today, but you can apply the fashion sense about hats as you dress today. Fashion is forever changing, but fashion sense in the ways of simplicity, good taste, and grooming will always have the highest standards. Mr. Dior says it with elegance and grace.

(Okay sorry if that was corny but I am MAJORLY excited about this!) *by R***I on December 28, 2015* This is a really great book for anyone interested in fashion on any level. For each letter of the alphabet, this dictionary gives you about 3-4 different terms of fashion. It could be a word that describes how to wear something, or an accessory to go with an outfit. For example, B for brooch, binding of textiles, or C for cuffing, couture. I love this book, because I am becoming more and more interested in fashion and love to learn more from the most respected people and companies in the fashion world. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Little Dictionary of Fashion: A Guide to Dress Sense for Every Woman - Little Book of Dior (Little Books of Fashion) - Little Book of Louis Vuitton: The Story of the Iconic Fashion House (Little Books of Fashion) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1620502-the-little-dictionary-of-fashion-a-guide-to-dress-sense](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1620502-the-little-dictionary-of-fashion-a-guide-to-dress-sense) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
