I'm so glad I'm reading this now and not back when I first discovered it :') I'm now becoming a seamstress with no experience all my life and this book has that bonus of relating more to Frances 💙 I'm not much of a designer, I like more the sewing part, but I enjoyed it SO MUCH AAA We love our gnc prince 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Emile is one of my favorites ngl he doesn't appear much but he sounds like such a nice guy (not the r/ ones LOL if you know what I mean)
Anyway, this was a lovely read and I'm glad I chose to read it!

Oh my god, Jen Wang has the most beautiful art style. For a book about a dressmaker, I was relieved that the dresses that Frances designed were actually gorgeous; I truly believed in her talent. I loved Sebastian and Frances' relationship as you could tell their love for one another ran deep, and I adored that it had a happy ending. I don't think I would have been able to cope otherwise.

Various scenes depict characters drinking and smoking. A lot of societal pressures are at play in regards to betrothal and obligation, particularly with the main family dynamic. There is technically no overt transphobia, as the central character never openly labels himself, but there are definite negative reactions to men and masculine-presenting people wearing feminine-coded clothing.
