★★★★ · It's a miracle! · Spuzz · 2015-06-08
Rather entertaining (and patriotic!) exploration on how and why the American woman deserves that 20 dollar dress these days. This film mainly focuses on the (no-longer-in-business) fashion house Sue Brett, where they carefully choose fabrics, designs and dress styles for the coming season. The dresses they do make are all predictably 70's looking for it's time.
