The Second Chance Boutique
The right dress can transform your life...
Francesca Delaney has a knack for matching a bride-to-be with the perfect gown. Her shop, The Whispering Dress, is no ordinary bridal boutique. Every gown is vintage, and the dresses seem to share their stories with Francesca, pointing to which woman needs them next.
Fran credits her success to two rules: never covet a dress and never sell a dress that led to a doomed marriage. But then she finds a beautiful 1950s couture floor-length gown, and her talent veers into obsession. The owner, however, would quite like the dark past of the dress to remain hidden forever...

About the Author
Louisa Leaman has a degree in art history and currently writes for the
V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum), researching and writing about the
museum's archived wedding dresses. It's the stories behind the exquisite
dresses in their collection that sparked the idea for the novel. She
lives in Epping Forest near London. When she isn't busy writing or
rearing three lively children, she paints portraits, goes running and
spends far too long browsing in vintage clothing shops.
