Description
A Dress of Violet Taffeta is a sumptuous novel based on the true story of Lucy, Lady Duff Gordon, a trailblazing fashion icon of the La Belle Époque era. With a remarkable eye for color and texture, Lucy overcomes the challenges of a male-dominated industry to build a fashion label that becomes synonymous with innovation and style.
When Lucy's life is turned upside down by personal tragedy and loss, she must draw on her creative talents to survive and thrive in the cutthroat world of haute couture. Her story is one of resilience, determination, and the power of art to transcend adversity.
Based on the remarkable true story of Lucy, Lady Duff Gordon, A Dress of Violet Taffeta is a captivating tale of fashion, courage, and the enduring legacy of a woman who refused to be defined by her circumstances.
