Sears Discovery Charm School - ring any bells?
Kelly, a fan of this site, wrote recently with a question about a book from her childhood that she's been desperately looking for -The Sears Make the Most of You Discovery Book (described a bit but without working links here. It was from a charm school that Sears ran back in the early 1970s; Kelly was a proud graduate. I sent her off to the Sears archivists but they had apparently never heard of the class or the book.
So I ask you - did anyone else out there take this class or remember this book? I'm thinking it was maybe a regional thing, but if Sears published the book... well, who knows. Post a comment if you've got any information about this class!
Thanks,
Miss Abigail

Is she sure that it was Sears? I took a charm class at Dillards in the late 80s or early 90s.
Definitely Sears, but sounds like they weren't the only ones teaching charm to young women... !
I took the Sears Charm School, but it must have been in the late 60's. I was born in 1956 and remember doing the charm thing when I was about 10.
I attended the Sears Discovery (Charm) School in the 70's as well. It was at Sears in Citrus Heights, CA. I remember my book very well and wish I had kept it.
I attended the Sears Charm School in the late 60s in Washington, DC (Tenley Town area) and remember being given a 3-ring binder book. The course ended with being able to model clothes from Sears in the store. I too wish I had kept the book. I remember my Mom didn't let my Dad know I was in the charm school or he would have had a fit. Not sure why, but seems funny now.
I attended Discovery Charm School at Sears in El Cajon, California back in 1981. I loved it and learned so much. I really wish there was something like it today that I could send my teenage daughter to.
I attended the Sears School For Young Charmers about 1967 in Norfolk, Virginia ~ Yes, we were all given the 3-Ring Notebook and at each class we would add that weeks lesson.
