Cover Me Fashionable >> Etiquette & Espionage (Finishing School #1)

Etiquette & Espionage (Finishing School #1)

Cover Me Fashionable is a weekly meme hosted by The Lost Lola, which features clothing finds by readers which match the outfits worn on the covers of their favorite books. This week's fashionable cover find is a bit of a two-fer, but when you're a young lady of quality attending the best finishing school for aspiring spies, you need to be prepared for all contingencies! You can achieve the ideal espionage look by choosing the largest and most cumbersome Victorian skirt you can find- as long as it's held up by a hoop skirt and it's in a delightful shade of black, just like this Virginia Skirt from Recollections. The ladies attending this finishing school are well versed in all manner of etiquette, from proper tea service to efficient knife wielding, and apparently are excellent seamstresses. Why not inquire at Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality once your look is complete to begin your training, just like Sophronia in Gail Carriger's upcoming YA debut, Etiquette & Espionage (Finishing School #1). What would your ideal finishing school ensemble be?
