Who wrote it: Clothes for You is a mid-century home economics textbook on wardrobe planning and clothing selection by Mildred Graves Ryan and Velma Phillips, Dean of the College of Home Economics at the State College of Washington, published by Appleton-Century-Crofts in this Second Edition, copyright 1954.

What it's about: The book walks young women through personal appearance, color and design fundamentals, buying clothes wisely, and building a practical wardrobe, clearly written for home economics classrooms of the era. It is a charming time capsule of mid-century ideas about dress, thrift, and self-presentation.

Condition: Tan cloth hardcover, no dust jacket. Boards and spine appear clean and solid in the photos. Please review all photos carefully, and email me with any questions.

Thanks so much for visiting,
