Description
London, 1947: a harsh winter, a crushing shortage, and a difficult life under rationing. People in post-war Britain live in quiet despair despite their recent victory. Among them are Ann Hughes and Miriam Dassin, embroiderers at the famous Mayfair fashion house of Norman Hartnell. Soon, a friendship develops between them, but the budding hope for a better future must undergo a severe test when they are honored with a once-in-a-lifetime task: to contribute to the creation of wedding dresses for Princess Elizabeth. Toronto, 2016: more than half a century later, Heather Mackenzie is trying to uncover the mystery of a set of embroidered flowers, a legacy from her grandmother. How did her beloved grandma, a woman who never spoke of her old life in Britain, come to possess such immensely valuable embroideries that closely resemble the motifs on the beautiful dress worn by Queen Elizabeth II on her wedding day nearly seventy years ago?
