I did really like the book and would have given it a higher rating but I also wanted to consider the fact that this book is not written by a author who is part of the LQBTQIA+ community.

“My whole life is other people deciding what's acceptable. When I put on a dress, I get to decide what's silly.”
 - The Prince and the Dressmaker

Tropes: Royalty, Friends to Lovers
Representation: Genderqueer/genderfluid
CW: Homophobia, Forced Outing

This book brought me so much joy. I adored the narrative of acceptance and becoming comfortable in your own skin. The slow-burn friends to lovers romance stole my heart, and the detail with the dress illustrations was absolutely amazing.

Overall, a very cute, heartwarming book with a hopeful ending

where the king and queen offer full support to their son

. The art style is super cute for the story, too!
