Reviews for Made For Each Other

[beadinggem_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A well researched book about fashion, fashion designers and the actresses who wear their creations at the Academy Awards. The book. The behind the scenes tidbits were riveting at times. Of special note were the stories of the very earliest Oscar ceremonies. A must for any fashionista.
