The Dress Shop of Dreams by Menna van Praag unfolds its magic in Etta's tiny dress shop, located on a seemingly ordinary Cambridge street. However, the vibrant racks of beaded silks and jewel-toned velvets conceal a bewitching power that can awaken a woman's deepest desires.

Cora Sparks, Etta's granddaughter, has spent her life sheltered within the confines of the shop and her university lab. She avoids confronting the mystery surrounding her parents' deaths and overlooks Walt, the shy bookseller who harbours a secret love for her.

Determined to change Cora's fate, Etta weaves a plan that ignites a series of astonishing events, transforming Cora’s life in extraordinary ways.
