Fashion Quote by Polly Allen Mellen

“I think that there are people who go to the best stores, and they have money, so money is no object, but they can't find a pretty dress - and I think that's their problem because the dresses are out there somewhere. So I think the answers to these questions lie somewhere in there.” quote by Polly Allen Mellen
