"And he thought my mother the most beautiful woman. He wrote to her and said she was the most beautiful woman he ever knew except his own mother."

Marit Guinness on her coming out:
"Oh it was lovely. My mother was so sweet and my father too. And I had dresses, the famous Charles James clothes, they were considered too eye catching, but my mother had the dresses, and I had them with my trousseau as well as my wedding dress. And these clothes were very famous.
Well, the V & A bought one for permanent showing. They were very tiny in the waist. He (James) was a great friend of Cecil Beaton, then they fell out for awhile, but he is considered the greatest dress designer that's ever been, him and Balenciaga."

love, kisses and vintage, Juliana
