The dressmaker of the Belle Epoque

Paris, 1900.

In the glittering fashion houses of the Rue de la Paix, Éléonore Vasseur creates exquisite gowns for women whose names appear in newspapers—while her own remains hidden in the seams.

When the prestigious House of Valmont asks her to reproduce an ivory gown from a faded photograph, the commission seems impossible. The original dress belonged to Claire de Villedieu, a young aristocrat who vanished without a trace fifteen years earlier.

Now Claire’s daughter is expected to wear the exact replica at a private gathering attended by the people who last saw her mother alive.

As Éléonore reconstructs the gown, she discovers hidden pockets, coded embroidery, and traces of documents someone tried to destroy. Every stitch draws her deeper into a conspiracy involving a forged signature, a stolen inheritance, and a woman deliberately erased from her own family’s history.

But the closer the dress comes to completion, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Someone is watching the atelier. Someone knows what was hidden inside the original gown. And when the finished dress finally enters the Villedieu mansion, every secret in the room may begin to unravel.

A vanished woman. A gown stitched with secrets. A dressmaker determined to uncover the truth.

The Dressmaker of the Belle Époque is an atmospheric historical mystery about memory, class, inheritance, and the women who refuse to remain invisible.
