Editorial Review:
Long ago, a poor servant girl created an exquisite wedding gown for her haughty mistress, who was to marry the man that the girl loved with all her heart. Though tempted to stop the marriage using her secret magical skills, she instead ensured the groom's happiness by enchanting the dress so that whoever possessed it would be blessed with true love. But the spell went delightfully awry, working its magic for the servant girl instead of her mistress-and then the dress mysteriously vanished. Who knows where or when it may turn up next, for some blushing bride to claim as her very own?

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - One gem, three dull short stories
Anthologies are always hard to rate because of the varying stories, and this one is no different.
"A PERFECT FIT".
I really found the first story so dull and slow-moving that I didn't even finish it. In it, a middle-aged woman who had a daughter out of wedlock is desperately trying to give her spoiled daughter a respectable wedding to a man of higher social standing. While the wedding is set, the girl doesn't have a wedding dress...the groom's mother thinks the family are social ... Read More
Rating:  - Adorable Anthology with Great Hook!
I loved all of the stories in this anthology because of the special and magical plot about the dress. My very favorite has to be GLAD RAGS by Connie Brockway though because she gave that plot a very funny twist. I don't want to give it away because it's so cute but I can say that only Ms. Brockway (and maybe Cary Grant) could have pulled it off!
Rating: - Really fabulous anthology
I'm kind of sick of anthologies that have two good stories and three bad ones, but this antho is enough to change my mind. First of all, I loved the Brockway one called Glad Rags. Because it was hot: the hero is totally in lust, but he's going off to war, and he doesn't want to leave the heroine alone if he dies. So he backs out of the marriage--and I was DYING for him to come back and make love. Which he does. Fabulous story. I really liked the other ones too, although they don't stand out ... Read More
Rating:  - Well, Metzger does a good job...
I agree with the previous reviewer that rating anthologies can be tricky as some stories are always better than others. This one is no different. The book starts off promisingly, with the prologue by Catherine Anderson (who also does the books epilogue). A servant, Aileanna, who descends from a line of sorceress', is stitching her selfish, mistresses wedding dress. Our witch, though, is in love with the groom-to-be, Halford, a highborn English gentleman. Though magic, the dress is blessed to bring ... Read More
Rating: - A Wonderful Anthology!
Giving an overall rating to an anthology is always VERY difficult. Some stories hit and some miss. Yet, I always enjoy reading an anthology, because you USUALLY come across an unfamiliar author . . . someone new and satisfying.
Scotland, 1790. As she quietly sewed, Aileanna MacEwan moved her weary fingers over the beautiful wedding gown, but alas, the exquisite dress was not for her. It was for her spoiled, ungrateful mistress. Sadly, Aileanna winced. All seemed so unfair, for she was ... Read More
