Summary Every woman has a dress that holds her precious memories of that one enchanted evening ...Charlotte Smith owns literally thousands. Having lived life to the full in London, Paris and New York, when she finally settled in Australia she inherited a vintage clothing collection of more than 3000 priceless pieces from her beloved Quaker godmother, Doris Darnell. Along with masterpieces by Chanel to Dior, she also inherited something even more precious - her godmother's book of stories. Her inheritance was not just a collection of beautiful treasures but a glimpse into the lives of the women who wore them - stories of love, loss and everything in between. In Dreaming of Dior and Dreaming of Chanel, Charlotte shared some of these treasures and their stories. Now, in One Enchanted Evening she some of her most sublime evening dresses from a collection that has since grown to more than 8000 pieces, including a glorious array of Australian originals. Step inside her magical wardrobe to experience much more than one enchanted evening ...
