A perfect debut novel is like a perfect dressβitβs a βmust haveβ and when you βtry it onβ it fits perfectly. In this richly patterned story of sisterhood, ambition, and reinvention Sofia Grant has created a story just right for fans of Vintage and The Dress Shop of Dreams. World War II has ended and American women are shedding their old clothes for the gorgeous new styles. Voluminous layers of taffeta and tulle, wasp waists, and beautiful colorβall so welcome after years of sensible styles and strict rationing. Jeanne Brink and her sister Peggy both had to weather every tragedy the war had to offerβPeggy now a widowed mother, Jeanne without the fiancΓ© sheβd counted on, both living with Peggyβs mother-in-law in a grim mill town. But despite their grey pasts they long for a bright futureβJeanne by creating stunning dresses for her clients with the help of her sister Peggyβs brilliant sketches. Together, they combine forces to create amazing fashions and a more prosperous life than theyβd ever dreamed of before the war. But sisterly love can sometimes turn into sibling jealousy. Always playing second fiddle to her sister, Peggy yearns to make her own mark. But as they soon discover, the future is never without its surprises, ones that have the potential to makeβor breakβtheir dreams.
