Présentation de l'éditeur :
Lily Fitzpatrick loves vintage clothes - made all the more precious because they were once owned and loved by another woman. Thousands follow her vintage fashion blog and her daily Instagram feed. But this passion for the beautiful clothes of the past is about to have unforeseen consequences, when Lily stumbles upon the story of a 1950s New York beauty, who was not only everything Lily longs to be, but also shares Lily's surname. Joy Fitzpatrick was a legend. But what was the famous dress which she once commissioned - said to be so original that nothing in couture would ever match it again? What happened to it - and why did Joy suddenly disappear from New York high society? Kate Kerrigan's enthralling novel interweaves the dramatic story of Joy, the beautiful but tortured socialite and that of Lily - determined to uncover the truth and, if possible, bring back to life the legendary dress itself.
Revue de presse :
'Mesmerising. Just beautiful' Cecelia Ahern. 'Glamorous, gripping and moving. I just loved it' --Marian Keyes
'Women's fiction at its finest. The writing is flawless, flows nicely and has a perfect pace ... For anyone who has gazed longingly at the pages of Vogue, drooled over the costumes in period dramas or wondered what rich socialites in Manhattan really did all day, this is for you. A fusion of fashion and feeling' --Bleachhouse Library
'I fell head over heels for Kate's unique brand of fiction a few years back - Kate's books are timeless classics that any generation can enjoy and learn from ... [In The Dress] Lily really came alive and I almost wished she was real so I could follow her online, and see all of her latest thrift-shop finds!' --FadeIn2Fashion.
