I am thrilled to be able to give away two copies of this absolutely fascinating and completely gorgeous book. I've got a copy of it at home, and it's fantastic - and it would make an excellent gift, as well.

> Beginning on January 1st and ending on December 31st, *Worn On This Day* looks at garments worn on monumental occasions across centuries, offering capsule fashion histories of everything from space suits to wedding gowns, Olympics uniforms, and armor. It creates thought-provoking juxtapositions, like Wallis Simpson's June wedding and Queen Elizabeth's June coronation, or the battered shoes Marie-Antoinette and a World Trade Center survivor wore to escape certain death, just a few calendar days apart.  
>  
> In every case there is a newsworthy narrative behind the garment, whether famous and glamorous or anonymous and humble. Prominent figures like Abraham Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe, and the Duchess of Cambridge are represented alongside ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events. Beautifully illustrated throughout, *Worn On This Day* presents a revelatory mash-up of styles, stories, and personalities.

It's a really beautiful book.
