The Gown. A Novel of the Royal Wedding

by Jennifer Robson

This book was much less about the royal wedding than about two of the seamstresses who embroidered the dress and the shop where they worked. The story takes place beginning in 1947. Ann has no living relatives except her widowed sister-in-law, Milly, with whom she lives until Milly moves to Canada. Miriam has moved to London from France and is seeking employment in an embroidery house. The two work together, with other young ladies. I thought it was good.
