Dear Miss Kitty
Hi,
I have loved your website since I found it quite a long time ago from an Ebay vintage clothing seller's link.
As a fairly recent devotee' of vintage ( and just now small enough to wear most of the tiny stuff at a modern size 2), I am devouring all I can read about the history of American clothing design ( and the European couture houses, of course, but I knew more about them from mainstream fashion magazines).
I love your newsletters and look forward to opening them every month!!
I want to especially thank you for the proper introduction to the late Bonnie Cashin. Because of items you have had on your website, I was able to quickly spy a gorgeous tomato red and tan coat with her label and the trademark brass toggle closures down the front and on the pockets. I don't think it had ever been worn. :)
Sadly, I passed up a Pauline Trigere' coat which , in hindsight, I also should have bought for the lovely cut and drape of the tweed fabric and her name, of course.
Please keep on informing the newer collector such as me of how American vintage evolved. :)
I will treasure my Cashin coat always, and also wanted you to know that I print out and save your newsletters.
Best,
Amanda Turnock
