This is a subject - in fact many subjects - close to my heart. Katherine Woodfine shines a light on a woman making waves in history, by making her clients feel good about their clothes. I loved finding out about Marie-Jeanne Rose Bertin, and I loved it that this story was all about imagination, hard work, dedication and, ultimately, friendship. That's a lot to pack into a little book. It would make a great present for a keen fashionista and/or a reluctant reader, and every library should have a copy.
