I adored this book. It's such a wholesome, heartwarming delight, rich with self-discovery and fabulous fashion. The character designs are winsome, the storyline gently moving, the dresses superbly detailed and astoundingly rendered. It takes place in a vague pseudo-historical Paris full of unmarried princesses and absinthe clubs, where all it takes is a single fashion show to spark social change. I'd move to this world in a moment if I could.
