Paris, 1956. Three friends--Claire, Gina, and Margot--who parted as very young women reunite in Paris years later, determined to start life anew. Parisian Claire has been working to become a Michelin-starred chef, but ever since the heady time she spent with socialites Gina and Margot, her dream has been to own a Dior gown. This seemed like a far-off fantasy, until eccentric and wealthy Madame Vaughn, who lives above Claire's family brasserie, abruptly quits Paris, leaving Claire a very special gift: a stunning Dior gown. American Gina, an aspiring novelist, lands on Claire's doorstep after a broken engagement. But when Gina's father begs her to attend the United States Embassy ball and meet with her former fiancé, she is torn. She only gives in when Claire insists Gina wear the Dior gown to the ball. At Dior for Gina's fitting, the women are shocked to run into Margot, who is working there under an assumed name...but refuses to explain why. Is their close friendship at an end? Or will the wonder of the Dior gown bring these young women back together? This lavish, lustrous gown has the power to change lives--as these three remarkable women are about to discover...-- Adapted from back cover.
