Description
''Kept me spellbound...You can practically feel the heaviness and sumptuousness of the velvet and other lush materials of the vintage gowns in your hands. Secrets and heartbreak come alive in this book I was unable to put down!'' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Each Dior dress tells a story...London, 2017: When her beloved grandmother, Sylvie, sends her to Paris to retrieve a dress she wore decades before, Lucille sees the perfect opportunity to briefly escape the pressures of her own life. But not everything is as it seems, and the long-buried secrets she discovers, hidden in a collection of priceless Dior gowns, could change everything.Paris, 1952: Postwar France is full of glamour and privilege, and Alice Ainsley is in the middle of it all. As the wife to the British ambassador to France, her life is a whirlwind of jewels, banquets and couture dresses, but beneath the glittering facade, Alice is suffocating in a loveless marriage. So when a new face appears in her drawing room, Alice finds herself yearning to follow her heart . . . no matter the consequences.Deliciously evocative and achingly romantic, sweeping from Fifties Paris to the V&A museum in London, The Last Dress from Paris is the perfect read for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, Natasha Lester, Fiona Valpy and Gill Paul.Everyone is falling in love with The Last Dress from Paris:''I''m sipping on a calming cup of tea and dabbing my eyes with a tissue after finishing this book...
