The Prince and the Dressmaker
In Belle Epoque Paris, talented seamstress Frances is hired to create dazzling dresses for Prince Sebastian's secret life as fashion icon Lady Crystallia. Their creative partnership becomes a close friendship and tender romance, but Sebastian's fear of discovery requires Frances to remain invisible. Frances must decide how long she can postpone her own ambitions while the prince confronts family expectations about marriage and royal identity. Joyful and stylish, this graphic fairy tale suits readers who enjoy fashion, gender expression, supportive friendship, young love, and happily-ever-afters built on being publicly cherished rather than privately tolerated.
