Historical Romance
The Fashion Designer
by Nancy Moser
-From Amazon- The American Dream thrives in 1912 New York City Annie Wood, the housemaid-turned-pattern designer in The Pattern Artist, jumps at the chance to design her own clothing line when a wealthy New York couple offers to finance her endeavor. Joining the project is Annie’s new husband, Sean Culver, her best friend at Butterick, Maude Nascato, and a mother figure, Edna Holmquist. Annie and her colleagues give up their careers, risking everything to follow a shared passion: clothes that are both fashionable and functional for modern, busy women in 1912. Personal and financial setbacks test old relationships and new romances while threatening to keep the business from ever selling a single dress. No one said it would be easy. But the promise of the American Dream holds a deep hope for those who work hard, trust God, and never give up. ISBN-13: 978-1683226017 Will their hard work succeed or fall apart? I wanted to read The Pattern Artist because it featured characters working for the pattern company, Butterick. I wanted to read The Fashion Designer because I had really liked the first book and I really wanted to know if the little group of friends had succeeded in their new business. | This Book received a 4 Bark rating. |
It was kind of fun watching the characters, who have quickly become like friends, as they struggle to get their fledgling business off the ground. They face a lot of ups and downs, and unexpected romance, but through it each of them learn to rely even more the only One who will see them through everything that life can throw their way.
The Fashion Designer was only the second book that I've read by author Nancy Moser and I'm both curious and kind of hoping that she might continue on into the next chapter of their endeavor.
