The Dressmaker by Kate Alcott
3.0

I do enjoy a good historical fiction novel, and this one did not disappoint. A great, frothy summer read! Set in 1912 at the sailing of the great, unsinkable Titantic; this book tells the amazing (and but far fetched) adventure of a servant Tess Collins and what happens to her, a sailor, a rogue businessman, and a fashion designer. With real historical figures and events, I enjoyed this book, but wished the characters were a little more fleshed out and that the story would have stretched longer! Overall, a great summer read!
