The Tailored Woman provides a quirky look at Wasp (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) culture, preppy pursuits, and one woman’s almost-but-not-quite-famous family. The website takes its name from the once legendary but now forgotten store at 57th and 5th in New York, owned by the writer’s great-great-uncle.

Elizabeth Collier Denton is a Chicago-based writer, editor and research analyst whose interests include travel, dining out, classic cocktails, vintage-inspired fashions, monkeys and books. She is the great-great grandniece of the founder of the Tailored Woman, the longtime New York women's specialty store known for "good style, good lines, good quality and quiet colors." Elizabeth is currently researching and writing a humorous family memoir called The Speedwell Society: How We Missed The Mayflower, Jesse James and $70 Million. (Sadly, all of those things really did--or rather, didn't--happen to her family.)
