The people of post-war Britain are suffering despite their nation's recent victory. For Ann Hughes and Miriam Dassin, embroiderers at a famed Mayfair fashion house, a glimmer of brightness comes in the form of their unlikely friendship and being chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime honour: taking part in the creation of Princess Elizabeth's wedding gown. Toronto, 2016: Heather Mackenzie seeks to unravel a family mystery. How did her beloved nan come to possess the embroideries that so closely resemble the motifs on the stunning gown worn by Queen Elizabeth II at her wedding? And what was her nan's connection to the celebrated textile artist and Holocaust survivor Miriam Dassin?
