three separate books....one woman has to wears bells on the bottom of her dresses.... one woman does not like to have anyone touching her and she is used by having her touch people to see if they are telling the truth... for the other woman... it seems as if the material for her dress is "alive".  It (the material) seems to either like or hate a person and the dress can either 'burn' someone or 'caress' them.. 

anyone know what the titles of these books are???? They are I believe from the same author.  Read them many years ago and would like to re-read them..   Any help is appreciated
