Of course, McCardell is also one of my idols - did you see they <a href="http://www.amazon.com/What-Shall-Wear-Claire-McCardell/dp/1585679704/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254883079&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">reissued the book she wrote</a>? If you want the vintage copy, it's still available (though at a premium - most over $140).
