I fell in love with all versions of love portrayed in this story: love of fashion, love for design, love of attention, love for your parents (and the fear that they will not be proud), love of another person, unconditional love for your children, and ultimately finding a way to love yourself. The style of drawings and pacing of storytelling was perfect! I thought this was a beautiful story and look forward to talking about it with students!
Prince Sebastian is looking for a bride―or rather, his parents are looking for one for him. Sebastian is too busy hiding his secret life from everyone. At night he puts on daring dresses and takes Paris by storm as the fabulous Lady Crystallia―the hottest fashion icon in the world capital of fashion!

Sebastian’s secret weapon (and best friend) is the brilliant dressmaker Frances―one of only two people who know the truth: sometimes this boy wears dresses. But Frances dreams of greatness, and being someone’s secret weapon means being a secret. Forever. How long can Frances defer her dreams to protect a friend? Jen Wang weaves an exuberantly romantic tale of identity, young love, art, and family. A fairy tale for any age, The Prince and the Dressmaker will steal your heart.
