The Fashion File by Janie Bryant

From Joanie's Marilyn Monroe-esque pencil skirts to Betty's classic Grace Kelly cupcake dresses, the clothes worn by the characters of the phenomenal Mad Men have captivated fans everywhere. Now, women are trading in their khakis for couture and their Pumas for pumps. Emmy-Award winning costume designer Janie Bryant offers readers a peek into the dressing room of Mad Men, revealing the design process behind the various characters' looks and showing every woman how to find her own leading lady style - whether it's vintage, modern, or bohemian. Bryant also offers advice to ensure that a woman's clothes convey her personality. She covers everything from finding incredible vintage clothing and accessories to pairing those authentic pieces with modern shoes and jeans. Readers will learn how to find their perfect bra size, use colour to convey a mood, and invest in the ten essentials every woman should own. And just so the ladies don't leave their men behind, there's even a section on making them look a little more Don Draper-dashing.
