I've wanted to read this book for so long and I'm so glad that I finally got the chance to do so! 

This is everything I wanted it to be and more. 

Prince Sebastian is in search for a bride, or, more like his parents are forcing him to search for one. But on the sidelines he is discovering a new life, a secret life, as Lady Crystallia. 

With the help of his new dressmaker, Frances, Sebastian can see all of his dreams coming true. 

But he and Frances must keep this a secret because really, who would care for a prince who wears dresses? 

Frances dreams of becoming a well known designer but how can she get word out there if her being friends with Lady Crystallia could reveal the truth behind the dresses? 

Will Sebastian be able to keep his life as a Prince and Lady Crystallia separate, or will the truth come tumbling out? And how long will Frances be willing to stay in the shadows to protect her new friend?
