She's back!

The number 1 bestselling novel continues . . .

Now it is 1953 and the fashion pages are awash with royal fever. The young queen's coronation means a season of society balls and a rush to reproduce the latest styles of the Houses of Dior, Valentino and Balenciaga. Why, then, is the best dressmaker in Melbourne squandering her talents in a second-rate Collins Street salon? From whom, or what, is she hiding?

Glamorous, blackly funny and full of unforgettable characters, The Dressmaker's Secret returns to Rosalie Ham's iconic vision of 1950s Australia.
