A plucky "titian-haired" sleuth solved her first mystery in 1930. Eighty million books later, Nancy Drew has survived the Depression, World War II, and the sixties (when she was taken up with a vengeance by women's libbers) to enter the pantheon of American girlhood. As beloved by girls today as she was by their grandmothers, Nancy Drew has both inspired and reflected the changes in her readers' lives. Here, in a narrative with all the vivid energy and page-turning pace of Nancy's adventures, Melanie Rehak solves an enduring literary mystery: Who created Nancy Drew? And how did she go from pulp heroine to icon? The brainchild of children's book mogul Edward Stratemeyer, Nancy was brought to life by two women: Mildred Wirt Benson, a pioneering journalist from Iowa, and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams, a well-bred wife and mother who took over as CEO after her father died. In this century-spanning story, Rehak traces their roles--and Nancy's--in forging the modern American woman.Binding Type: Paperback

A true beauty
Color: Red, Size: Large
This tuxedo set is so beautiful. The red is extremely striking and is sure to grab everyone's attention. I ordered a size L, as I am on the cusp of Medium and Large. The pants fit very well, and they have some adjustment points around the waist in case they need to be let out a little more. Also, in the waist band is some elastic portions, which make finding the perfect fit something you won't have to think much about.--- they will stretch with you. The jacket feels like it is custom fitted by a tailor. The quality of this tuxedo, considering the price point, is exceptional.

Size up at least once or twice if you buy these
Color: Black-satin, Size: Medium
I really wanted these pants to work because they actually look very nice and the material feels decent for a tuxedo pant. However, the sizing is completely off. I normally know my size pretty well, but these arrived and were way too small. I ended up reordering two different pairs in larger sizes trying to find the right fit, and even then, I couldn't get it quite right.
Since I was in a major time crunch for an event, I eventually had to give up because I didn't have the time to go back for a third pair. It is a shame because the flat front style is exactly what I was looking for and the functionality of the clasp and zipper seemed solid. The value for money would be great if the fit was consistent, but the headache of returning and reordering makes it tough to recommend unless you have plenty of time to experiment with the sizes.
If you decide to grab these, definitely plan on ordering at least one or even two sizes larger than what you usually wear. They have a nice professional look to them, but the durability of the fabric doesn't matter much if you can't actually get them on.
