When of her class you never do something for yourself, much less sew you own clothes. This doesn't stop her from pursuing her love of dressmaking. on the night of the dukes charity ball, neither of them know that their relationship will grow into a stronger passion than they have ever felt. In the year 1854, england may not be ready for them, but that doesnt stop their love from blooming into that of a fairytale.
