The art style is adorable and expressive with beautiful dresses. The story is sweet, about a young prince balancing his duties and his love for drag and the dressmaker who designs for him and wishes to be a popular designer. I’m glad this book exists and can be in schools since it’s a good starting point for learning about drag and the fluidity of gender.

TWs: outing, anti-drag prejudice

The Prince and the Dressmaker didn’t blow me away… it didn’t feel too unique and the art style was good but not amazing. It was a cute and quick read.

The butterfly dress is giving Taylor Swift debut.

Um pequeno pedaço de doçura que devorei em poucas horas, numa curta viagem por Paris do século XIX, acompanhando a história da modista Frances e o príncipe Sebastian e a sua paixão conjunta pela arte da moda. 

Creio que qualquer pessoa queer vai conseguir se identificar com as dificuldades que Sebastian demonstra com a sua identidade, batalhando entre o seu verdadeiro eu e as realidades impostas a si pela sociedade; e na liberdade que Sebastian encontra nas roupas mais femininas e a sua identidade secreta, a Dama Cristália. 

A destacar a belissima edição portuguesa da Editora Desrotina que faz brilhar ainda mais a arte de Jen Wang.
