The Dream Dress by Janice Thompson Review


About

Big dreams take big leaps of faith . . . but what if you trip on the way?
A lowly seamstress at a swanky bridal boutique, Gabi Delgado dreams of doing more than ripping out seams and fitting dresses to doe-eyed brides. She wants to see her own original dress designs gracing the young women of Texas. But when Jordan Singer, reporter for Texas Bride magazine, visits the shop to do a feature, Gabi is humbled in his influential--and unnervingly handsome--presence.

Convinced she'll never get her dreams off the ground now, Gabi needs lots of encouragement--especially from her friend Bella Neeley--to take a chance and start her business. And as she gets to know Jordan, she discovers that she may have to take a chance on love as well.

My Review:
This book reminded me of when I tried on wedding gowns. I loved my dress and could not imagine my wedding without it. I enjoyed the bits of humor throughout the book, and I loved that Gabi never gave up on her dreams. I liked all the references to sewing, and as a person who sews I could see the stitches being made. I really liked that Gabi's top Fred and Ginger quotes were at the end too! I can not wait to read more of this series. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own. Always a sewer, never a wearer.....
