The Fashion Designer by Nancy Moser



The Fashion Designer by Nancy Moser is the continuing story of Annie wood a former housemaid. She is now married and pursuing her dream of having her own Fashion Design house. It was very nice to visit with Annie and her friends. I love the fact that the story follows the everyday business of living. It also enjoyable to see Annie and her friends develop their walk with God. All told this is a great book, but make sure you read The Pattern Artist first! So grab your tea and settle in for a great read!

I was given this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.


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.
