It turns out the king’s son, Sebastian, wants something made for him nobody can know because Sebastian likes to cross-dress privately but doesn’t want to bring his family to shame.Īt first Frances is a little… weirded out (not exactly surprising for the time period they’re in) but she swears to keep his secret and they begin to become friends. Suddenly, Frances is whisked away with very little explanation with a vague suggestion of a job opportunity. She works as a seamstress with a bunch of other women and even though her life isn’t easy, she loves making beautiful clothes for people to wear. The story starts with a young woman named Frances who is quiet and reserved, but beneath the surface she’s filled with big dreams. The Prince and the Dressmaker is a period piece set in Paris, but it has a pretty modern feel and I don’t feel the author was that much of a stickler about accuracy. There’s nothing about it that is likely to blow anybody’s mind, the characters are endearing but not ones I particularly formed a strong relationship with. For me, this book was a cute, entertaining read that succeeded as a light-hearted distraction from my latest bout with severe anxiety.
