The Wedding Dress belongs in a league completely its own, with a tapestry of love stories that will, as the cover endorsement so perfectly stated leave you breathless.

I was easily impressed with this novel. Four women. Four generations. Four love stories. One dress. The story has a tinge of the ethereal, but whats the point of fiction if you cant enjoy the chance to make a story capture the light of the impossible?

With four stories to weave into one, I thought parts of the plot would feel lacking, but quite the contrary. I wanted to spend more time with these characters, but not because I felt I needed to know them better, but because they become a close part of my life in such a short time.

I loved the little quirks of dialogue, character depth and portrayal and the seamless weaving of all these stories as though one large and gorgeous tapestry.

Being a hopeless romantic, the thought of one dress, always fitting the bride with no altering left me just a bit light in the chest. But it was the stories of these woman that moved my heart. I cant explain it much beyond that, because there was so much to love about this book. But the story trumps all.

The Wedding Dress holds a promise, both the dress and the novel. And one that will find a most fitting place on my keeper shelf. No altering required.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through Litfuse for my copy to review.
