A Dress of Violet Taffeta by Tessa Arlen
4.0
This was such a fascinating story! I had never heard of Lucile Wallace or her designs but I love Edwardian stories especially with the Titanic and I was eager to learn more about her and to look up her life and designs online.
I really loved the relationships of the women, this book jumps from Lucy’s POV to her assistant Celia’s. You are able to see the up and downstairs look into the overwhelming process of making clothes! I have a new appreciation for seeing pictures of old gowns because its the product of hundreds of hours, blood, sweat and tears.
