Hi all! Did you know it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Many of us have been through or have loved ones who have battled breast cancer, myself included. To help raise money for research in this area, 10% of purchases made at www.American-Duchess.com this week will be donated to the cancer research group of your choosing.

When you go through checkout, you will be able to choose one of several reputable charities, or enter your own choice. We will donate 10% of your purchase on your behalf. Please note that American Duchess Company is not affiliated with any charities, foundations, or non-profits - we are doing this to support research in this important field, not as any kind of political statement.

We have ivory and black Pompadours, white Kensingtons, new Valois shoe buckles, and the silk stockings will be in stock mid-week (but you can put your order in now). Also to be found are new additions to the "Imperfect" section, which will be updated throughout the week with any slightly-scuffed Pompadours and Kensingtons we find.

To prepare for our week-of-pink, Chris and I had the honor of photographing Laurie of Daze of Laur, in one of her creations, an unbelievably stunning pink gown. Here are a selection of photos, shot by Chris:
