The Victorian and Edwardian Ladies’ Guide to Business
and Millinery Style Book
with Observations for the 21st Century
is based upon Cynthia Marek Lundeen’s presentations before live audiences and her work as a millinery designer. Reviews of her work include the following:
"At an event renowned for its women’s hats, [The Kentucky Derby] few rivaled Lundeen’s. -John Scheinman, The Washington Post
"Her repartee was lively, humorous and informative as she advised, ‘A hat should enhance, not hide, a woman’s beauty’" -Kathryn Riddle, Currents
"What a marvelous program! ... members have called and written to tell me how delighted they were and how much fun they had…people have inquired about similar programs for their groups. You were wonderful." -Pat Fernberg, Program Chair, Jane Austen Society of North America, North Coast Chapter
"It was when she learned millinery, or hat making, that Lundeen found her calling…. But it’s Lundeen’s philosophy about sophistication and romance that makes it art." -Evelyn Theiss, The Plain Dealer
"We received many complimentary remarks about your program…thank you for helping to make our fundraiser a big success! -William L. Bird, Executive Director, Lorain County Historical Society
"Thank you so very much for a wonderful presentation and a splendid fashion show. Your passion, enthusiasm and sense of humor were all greatly appreciated. -Deirdre Vodanoff, The Cleveland Museum of Art
