"Paris, 1955 Three friends-Claire, Gina, and Margot-who parted as very young women with their whole lives ahead of them, reunite in Paris years later, determined to start life anew. Parisian Claire has been working hard to become a Michelin-starred chef one day, but ever since the heady time she spent in the company of socialites Gina and Margot, her dream has been to own a Dior gown. This seemed like a far-off fantasy, until her neighbor, Deidre Martin, who lives above Claire's family brasserie, mysteriously disappears from Paris, quitting her job at the United States Embassy and leaving Claire to mind her apartment. Most bafflingly, Deidre also makes Claire a very special gift: a stunning Dior gown. Meanwhile Gina, a cool American blue blood, lands on Claire's doorstep nursing a broken heart and a broken engagement after her father lost all of the family money in a risky business venture. A journalist aspiring to be a novelist, Gina has returned to Paris in the hopes of pursuing her dream. But when Deidre goes missing, Gina's journalistic instincts scent a story, and an invitation to the United States Embassy ball is too great an opportunity to miss. Only what on earth is she going to wear? Warm-hearted Claire insists Gina wear the Dior gown to the ball, and after some hesitation, Gina accepts. At Dior for Gina's fitting, whom should assist them but Margot, the friend they thought had gone back to Australia to be married. But Margot is living in Paris and working at Dior under an assumed name, and clearly is not happy to have been found. Is their close friendship at an end? Or will the wonder and delight of the Dior gown bring these young women back together? Gorgeous, perfectly fitted, lustrous and luxurious, the Dior gown has the power to change lives-as these three remarkable women are about to discover..."--

The Paris Gown by Christine Wells takes readers to Paris in the 1950s where three women become friends and share their dreams. The ladies like to stroll by the House of Dior and admire the current gown on display in the window. Claire dreams of owning a Dior gown one day. A few years later, the three women are in Paris once again and they get a chance to reconnect. The Paris Gown is told from Margot, Claire, and Gina�s point of view. I liked the relationship between the three women. I found the beginning to be interesting. I was drawn in and curious until the story turned into a standard romance. I liked the sections about the House of Dior and its infamous designer. I loved the descriptions of the dresses. I was surprised that the Dior gown did not play a big role in the story. The food descriptions will have your mouth watering. I did not find myself enjoying the latter half of the book. There are subplots that never materialize and repetitive details. The ending was rushed. I found some details to be farfetched and everything was tied up too neatly in this predictable book. Unfortunately, I was not charmed by The Paris Gown.
