I have just finished copyedits on The Dress - my new novel due out this summer (2015). Here's the cover blurb. VERY EXCITED!
Beauty beyond measure comes at a price.
Lily Fitzpatrick loves vintage - clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories - things made all the more precious because once they were owned and loved by another woman. Thousands follow her vintage fashion blog and her daily #WhatLilyWears 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 Fitzpatrick suddenly disappear from New York high society?
The Dress interweaves the dramatic story of Joy, the beautiful but tortured socialite and that of Lily - determined to uncover the truth and, if possible, to bring back to life the legendary dress itself.
