{"product_id":"9781608199792","title":"The Hundred Dresses: The Most Iconic Styles of Our Time","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe dress is the last bit of femininity in our closets; it's the only item of clothing which (most) men and women don't 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' children's classic \u003ci\u003eThe Hundred Dresses\u003c\/i\u003e, Erin McKean's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach 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. Notes on where such a style could be observed and accessories of the wearer are also included. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatured are The Wench; The Sari; The Vreeland; The Wrap; The Austen; The Beckham; The Siren (any style, as long as it's red); The Chanel Ingenue; The Caftan; The Guinivere; The Jackie; The Slip Dress; The Biohazard (any dress dangerous to bystanders or the wearer: think Lady Gaga); and scores more. The book also includes a suggested reading list of fashion books, dresses from literature, and an index.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart style commentary, part fashion blueprint, part clever field guide, \u003ci\u003eThe Hundred Dresses \u003c\/i\u003ewill ensure that no woman (or man) ever underestimates the power of the dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139138273520,"sku":"9781608199792","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608199792_p0.jpg?v=1763833826","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608199792","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
