A Question

This was inspired by a conversation between Sarah and her Mum about whether or not her Mum had worn a particular dress to an event and if certain people would have seen it. This got me thinking to how a Society Lady would have kept track of what she'd worn. I'm aware of Cellar Diaries to keep track of booze and Hostesses Books to keep track of who'd come round for dinner and wehat they'd been fed. However, I'm not aware if there was a corresponding book for a Ladies Maid or the Lady herself to keep track of her outfits.

Do they exist?

I did try to search on your behalf, but the signal strength from here is pretty poor (oh say, can you see ... a single bar on your cell phone screen?), so I get an error message as often as a result and then -- oh, look! a squirrel!!

(Why I am getting an error msg just about every time I Google, but can manage LJ or DW one try out of two or three, I really don't know. Has all that extra **** the big G is trying to tie to search results made their -reviously slim and trim service eat processor speed, or what?)
