I wore my vintage Christian Dior to a Mad Hatters party, which brings up an interesting fact. The reason why the term 'as mad as a Hatter' was coined, was because the fumes from the mercuric nitrate used in the felting of fur to make hats, induced madness and eventually death.
The picture is of my Dad's copy of 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll, this copy was printed in 1948 by Richard Clay and Company. The Illustration is by Rene Cloke.
