Description

Set against the glittering backdrop of 1788 London, the story follows the bustling world of high‑society fashion, where silk, lace and towering panniers dictate not only appearance but attitude. In the midst of this flamboyant scene works Pamela Pounce, a sharp‑witted milliner’s assistant whose eye for style quickly earns her a reputation as a subtle power broker among the elite.

When Lady Kilcroney summons Pamela into royal service, the young woman finds herself thrust into a maze of etiquette, intrigue, and whispered scandals. Charged with the delicate task of managing wardrobes—and, by extension, reputations—Pamela must balance her own ambitions with the expectations of a world that equates virtue with a perfectly arranged petticoat. As friendships are tested and rumors swirl, her quick judgment and keen sense of propriety become both her shield and her most daring weapon.
