I like how thorough it is and how you get to know each character as a separate person. I really appreciate stories with just a smidgeon of magic in them; it makes everything seem so much more genuine and alive. The Dress's cover drew my attention right away; it's stunning and makes me want to take this book up off the shelf. Characters were well-described, each one distinct and intriguing. I would strongly recommend this to anyone of any age who like thrillers or suspense novels, and I would most likely purchase a copy for a friend. It was a pleasure to read since it was well written, fluid, and engaging.
It has a rating of four stars. I loved this part in the blurb and it was very appealing to me: Will Fabia overcome the prejudices she encounters? What's the dark secret she's hiding? And do the silk linings and concealed seams of her dresses contain real spells or is this all just 'everyday magic'?
Among the leopard-print shoes, tea-gowns and costume jewellery in Fabia's shop are many different stories - and the story of one particular dress.
