But Frances is also becoming known for being Prince Sebastian’s seamstress. Once Frances gets the chance of a lifetime to get her clothes into a famous fashion show, she must decline or else everyone one will know the Prince’s secret. Will Frances keep living her life a secret? Or will she step up and make her life everything she wanted? Read this in The Prince and the Dressmaker!

“How does this book so perfectly combine exquisite and intricate dresses, adorable and lovable characters, and a perfect story about coming to know yourself as an adolescent? Jen Wang is a genius and I want Frances to design me a dress so I can go to the ballet with Lady Crystallia.”
