Working wardrobe
She came to me with a wardrobe built in three cities over eleven years and no rule holding any of it together. The room took four hours. Sixty pieces went out, twenty-four stayed, seven came in, and four of the keepers went to the tailor before they came home.
The useful discovery was not what to buy. It was that she already owned three white shirts of the same cut and had been wearing the worst of the three because it hung at the front.
