Lady Duff Gordon
Lucile: London, Paris, New York and Chicago 
Stage costume by Lucile, circa 1915
For me there was a positive intoxication in taking yards of shimmering silks, laces as airy as gossamer and lengths of ribbons, delicate and rainbow-coloured, and fashioning of them garments so lovely that they might have been worn by a princess in a fairy-tale. - Lucile

That's it, I'm off the computer and onto the lounge chair with "The Glass of Fashion." Thanks for the push HOBAC!
I thrill just as much to the knowledge that Elinor Glyn was her sister! And that Captain Molyneux got his start with Lucile, I think. When I think Lucile I think ribbons. And who snapped her photograph? Lovely image.
Very Edith Wharton.
I think I was born in the wrong century... no, wait... (looks at the dresses again)... yep, I was.
