And now Janie Bryant [ above ] has published a unique book called The Fashion File which will help women nail the look.
"Retro underwear is the key to getting the perfect silhouette" , according to Bryant."I love a longline bra because it totally smoothes the back and it's seamless. It's quite a piece of engineering."
Getting the right foundation garments is the only way to pull off the figure hugging, sultry secretary shape.
According to show star Christina Hendricks " The first day I put on the retro undergarments and I was walking around the office like boom, boom, boom. I've always had a bit of a walk -- this girl's got
hips -- but on the show it's exaggerated."
In Bryants " The Fashion File
", she gives advice to ensure that a woman's clothes convey her personality, covering everything from where to find gorgeous vintage clothing and accessories and how to pair
those authentic garments with modern shoes and jeans etc .Learn how to find their perfect bra size, use color to convey a mood and so on.

I love the clothes on Mad Men. I think it's the main reason I watch the show (well, that and John Hamm). I also did a post on Mad Men fashion, right before my Mad Men-themed birthday party: GLOSSING OVER IT
ReplyDeleteI've been watching Mad Men these days. What beautiful outfits and music!
ReplyDeleteJust ordered the book! Thanks for the heads up!

Now the question is, where to find these "undergommints" as my grandma used to say.
ReplyDeleteWhat Katie Did Lingerie. Don't buy anything retro look--it will NOT look right.
DeleteHad no idea about the book! So glad to find it. Rumor is that Janie Bryant is going to start her own retro fashion line offered through either QVC or HSN (I forgot which). Love your blog! Will be blogrolling you!
ReplyDeleteThe Fashion File is on my xmas list! I love the way Peggy Olsen gradually is changing from frump to glamour girl as the series develops.
ReplyDeleteHave loved the mad men since the very first episode! Lizzie
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cholla Queen...finding the foundation garments is becoming more and more difficult...and expensive! Thanks for telling us about the book, though. :)
