The Dress (Everyday Magic Trilogy: Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
1950s. Lovely detail at décolleté.Can be altered to fit size 10-12. Ella drew the velvet curtain across her body so that she wouldn’t have to see. She hated looking at herself in the mirror. She hated the way that her body felt, the way her stomach pushed at the waistband of her skirt, the way the soft flesh at the tops of her thighs rubbed together when she walked. Katrina liked those American films, the ones with pink covers and hearts all over them where girls carried fluffy dogs in their handbags and had perfectly groomed eyebrows. She wanted to look like Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde or the girls in those Californian soaps who drove convertibles and flicked their hair over their shoulders. Ella had been brought up on Mamma’s vintage collection: the Audrey Hepburn box sets, Marilyn in Some Like it Hot, Anita Ekburg splashing in the Trevi Fountain, Sophia Loren.But when she looked in the mirror, she didn’t see how she could ever look like that. There was her hair, for a start.
