Customer Reviews

Not only is he a talented designer but a writer as well

I enjoyed this book very much. Mr. Scaasi's life story is so fascinating and inspiring. He has been surrounded by the creme de la creme of society. I would love to be an assistant in his life. Hats off to you Mr. Scaasi.

So much fun!

Fashion designer Arnold Scaasi has seen many of the most important American women of the 20th Century in their underwear. In consequence, he knows their secrets, which he shares in his memoir, WOMEN I HAVE DRESSED. This book just is plain old fun. Scaasi drops lots of names, and he tells lots of tales. Whether it's sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom or dining with Diana, Princess of Wales, this boy from Montreal has done it all. In the process of designing his gorgeous couture garments, he has learned intimate details about some of the most beautiful women in modern history, such as Elizabeth Taylor, and some of the most famous, such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. WOMEN I HAVE DRESSED is Scaasi's own story. It makes for a wonderful read.

A very good book of its kind

This is the kind of book I have a fatal weakness for. You get little points of information you never knew about both stars and first ladies. I read it in one sitting! If you like glamour, if you like celeberties, if you like living life with style, get this book! Mr. Scaasi not only knows clothes, he knows how to maintain friendships and move in the highest circles. A fascinating read.
