1940: As the Germans advance on Paris, young seamstress Estella Bissette is forced to flee everything she's ever known. She's bound for New York City with her signature gold dress, a few francs, and a dream: to make her mark on the world of fashion. Present day: Fabienne Bissette journeys to the Met's annual gala for an exhibit featuring the work of her ailing grandmother- a legend in women's fashion design. But as Fabienne begins to learn more about her belove grandmother's past, she uncovers a story of tragedy, heartbreak, and family secrets that will dramatically change the course of her own life.
