I don't want to keep you from the gems below. Hope you love them!

“I’ve always designed things I needed myself. It turns out other people need them, too.” -Claire McCardell
Meet Claire McCardell author of the 1956 classic What Shall I Wear?, a book of fashion advice for women of all ages and visionary behind ready-to-wear fashion for women. McCardell tossed aside girdles, darts, shoulder pads, and unwieldy zippers that ran along the back of garments, as well as Paris fashion trends, and developed the distinctive, mid-century style known as The American Look which embodied both elegant simplicity and practical purpose. “I like buttons that button and bows that tie,” she once said.
"She modernized the way women dress." — Anna Sui
McCardell’s designs served as the go-to fashion inspiration for the Emmy-winning Amazon Prime hit The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Necessity was the mother of her inventions. to lighten her luggage on her European travels, McCardell created separates by designing dresses with interchangeable blouses and skirts. “She modernized the way women dress,” designer Anna Sui told The Washington Post. “Her clothes are timeless.”
