The Wedding Dress
By Mary Burchell
Description: Loraine and her father had never been very close, and it was therefore astonishing to discover after his death that he had been greatly concerned about her and had appointed a guardian for herself and her affairs. She wished he had chosen someone a little less problematical than a remote sort of cousin living in Paris and had little doubt the cousin wished that too. Since he could not come to England himself, her guardian summoned Loraine to Paris, and she found herself abruptly transferred from the relative seclusion of an English boarding-school to the heady atmosphere of Paris in May. At the age of eighteen she was not likely to resent that, and from the moment she stepped off the train at the Gare du Nord, she was tinglingly aware of a subtle excitement in the air which belongs solely to Paris. Her only concern was her unknown guardian and his plans for her, but it was through him she found a dazzling career in the world of fashion -and also the love of her life.
