Fashion Babylon - Imogen Edwards-Jones"


A Good Yarn- The dictionary says yarn is a type of thread- that works for A

Was this for B?
Fashion Babylon by Imogen Edwards-Jones
This cover doesn't have enough dress- at least some bodice needs to show, but if you have one of the other editions Fashion Babylon by Imogen Edwards-Jones Fashion Babylon by Imogen Edwards-Jones it would work.
For cover tasks, the book cover you have determines fit

Bloodring by Faith Hunter - this looks like the same outfit as Seraphs (Rogue Mage, #2) by Faith Hunter - I don't think it is a skirt. There's a better image here

No, there are no appropriate words in the title and if there's a dress on the cover it's not recognizable
