Though set in Britain in WWII, this is a fairly light story. A well known dress designer loses her house and design studio in London to Nazi bombs, so she moves back home to the manor. With rationing, many things are unavailable, so wedding dresses are almost unavailable. A clever scheme of redoing old dresses becomes very popular. Loves are lost and found along the way. A different take on the usual historical fiction, a quick read.

Jennifer Ryan writes stories of war, but, in the midst of death and destruction, she finds moments in history that exemplify wartime spirit and communities that stood together to do what they had to do to survive and find joy in some of the darkest moments of world history. The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle is a memorable story of caring and ingenuity. As with Jennifer Ryan's other books, the war is present and its devastation never far away.

Set in England during WWII. When London is bombed and Cressida's home and business are destroyed, she returns to her estranged family's country manor. Her idea is to only stay until she can rebuild her business and return to the life she created. Encountering the residents of the small town for the first time since she left at a young age, she starts experiencing life and building bonds. A wonderful story based in fact of how sharing wedding dresses, due to the shortages of war, brought an unlikely group together.
