What should you do if you notice a stranger's dress is tucked up at
the back? What are you meant to say if you are offered food you
don't like at a dinner party? And what ought you to wear if you're
invited to a ball? If these questions baffle you, fear not! For
help is at hand in the form of The Ladies' Book of Etiquette.
Florence Hartley's insightful etiquette guide was first published
in 1860, and yet her witty and useful advice on behaving like a
lady often still rings true down the ages. You don't need to live
in the nineteenth century to agree with Hartley that it is rude to
finish someone else's jokes. Whatever the situation, whether the
reader would like to know how to be as ladylike as possible when
seasick or the best colour schemes for bridesmaids' dresses, this
thorough and wide-ranging book will provide sensible and succinct
guidance, as well as shed light into life in the nineteenth
century. Did you know that apparently you could spot a lady who had
laced her corset too tightly from the lack of circulation making
her nose go red?! Published alongside The Gentlemen's Book of
Etiquette, this is the perfect gift for that special someone in
your life, or as a treat to yourself as you aspire to set step on
the path towards becoming a lady! Let every action, while it is
finished in strict accordance with etiquette, be, at the same time,
easy, as if dictated solely by the heart. To be truly polite,
remember you must be polite at all times, and under all
circumstances.
