From design concept to runway, from Bloomingdales to red carpet,
this is the story of THE dress and the lives it touches. If you
loved The Devil Wears Prada, you’ll love this!
Legend has it that every season there is one dress. The dress that
can make your career, ignite a spark with that special someone, or
utterly transform your life. For Felicia, who has been in love with
her boss for 20 years; for Natalie who has sworn off men since her
ex dumped her – for them and for others, life is about to
change.
And all because of their brush with the dress of the season, the
perfect little black number that everyone wants to get their hands
on…

In her warm and witty debut novel, Jane L. Rosen writes a love
letter to New York City and the tapestry of women who come here
with high hopes and big dreams. A little black dress hasn't gotten
this much attention since Breakfast at Tiffany's. Whether you're in
a stylish sheath or your flannel pajamas, this book will make you
feel like a million bucks.
*Katie Couric*
A charming story that twists the lives of New Yorkers around a
little black dress... It all works. Each scenario is revisited and
broadened as the chapters unfurl... Rosen's debut novel is rich in
relationships, written with clarity and humor and surprise twists
that bring the tale to a satisfying conclusion. A pure pleasure to
read.
*Kirkus*
This is a fun book, tightly plotted and perfectly timed for the
summer season.
*Publishers Weekly*
[The Dress] sends the reader on a journey with many characters and
the little black dress of the season. From the soon-retiring dress
designer and the first-time runway model, to the retail salespeople
and an actor, this book relates how the dress touches and, often
profoundly, changes the lives of all. Even though there were many
characters in this book, the author immersed the reader into their
lives. Romance, humor, and irony spark the plot as the dress
travels from one life to another. A charming read!
