Designing for the ""average woman,"" Vera was known for her bold geometric designs and bright, splashy florals. With over 500 color photographs, this book documents Vera's vibrant scarves, blouses, dresses, sleepwear, kitchen textiles, bed linens, and dishes, some of which are shown in original packaging. Included is a biography of Vera as well as a price guide, bibliography, and shopping resources.
