C is for Cute

I came across a darling book this week - it's a fashion alphabet, called When Royals Wore Ruffles. The illustrations, by Chesley McLaren, are wonderfully whimsical. McLaren is no stranger to fashion - she's sketched looks from Chanel to McQueen, and her work has been featured by Henri Bendel, Express, and Estee Lauder. And, she illustrated Town and Country's Social Graces. Need I say more? (SUCH a T&C fan!) Without further ado, a sampling of her illustrations (see below for book information).
