Review: A Delightful Story - The Wedding Dress was a delightful read! Sometimes when you talk about a christian writer, it is prickly to incorporate God into the story, but in this book, adding God felt totally right and was smoothly done. Maybe I have changed, but it felt right and good to me. Our heroine, Charlotte Malone, owns a bridal dress shop, is engaged to Tim Rose and is not the typical bride to be. She drives up to Red Mountain to pray about the things bothering her and her upcoming marriage. But when she arrives, it is anything but peace and quiet. There is an auction going on. So when she takes a look around, a little man, wearing a purple shirt, is the auctioneer and he picks Charlotte out of the crowd....is the trunk that is welded shut calling out to her? Well it sure must have been...she ran the bid up to one thousand dollars and took the ugly trunk home with her. Shortly thereafter, she and Tim break up. He's just not sure he's ready to marry. There's no postponing til later, Charlotte feels it is over. When the man in the purple shirt shows up at her store asking if she has opened the trunk, she is not only leary of him, but indeed curious as to what lies in wait inside the trunk. Her friend Tim, agrees to help her open the trunk. Inside is the beautiful wedding gown with a mystery history. And the search begins for the history of the gorgeous gown, sewn with golden threads, never altered....always in style...and fits to the bride it is meant for. I loved this story. Ms Hauck did a phenomenal job of building her characters, three past brides and their men, their families and the history of the beautiful dress! Her story came full circle and Charlotte and Tim did too. This book would be a good book for a book club to read and discuss. I felt as if God had spoken to me through the characters and I enjoyed the read very much. Thank you for sharing Rachel Hauck! I was not disappointed with your book one bit!!!
Review: Good blend of historical and contemporary romance - This book pushes a lot of my romance-reader buttons. It has conflict, secrets, lead characters with integrity and faith, and a few characters and events that make things a bit more interesting on the way to happily ever after. Now, I'm not a huge fan of dual-timeline stories, and that might have tripped me up if the author hadn't so seamlessly woven THE dress throughout each of four brides stories. And along with the (sisterhood of the traveling) wedding dress that miraculously fits each bride without alteration, a certain odd gentleman in purple who seems to be in the right places at all the right times to give little nudges to those brides. While some of the characters (ok, mostly Tim) took me a bit to warm to, I instantly fell for Grace and her beau. There is something about encountering lively older characters in novels that just tickles me pink, and I have a definite fondness for 1930's stories. Ultimately, this is an unabashedly romantic novel. Romance that spreads across the decades and links four women in more ways than one. It is also very much a feel-good novel that also touches on prejudice, pride, grief, and faith. Having read the entire Royal Wedding series in quick succession last December, I once again enjoyed the author's writing voice in The Wedding Dress. Hauck's writing is consistent, pleasant, and inviting. I love how the faith of the characters is just out there, being lived and discussed, and I always enjoy seeing how she weaves in the supernatural element. Her characters are also consistent, unfortunately, in that they sometimes almost feel like watching the same set of actors trying to take on slightly different roles in a series of movies. An enjoyable, quick, and decidedly Southern read. 3/5 stars for sheer romance and enjoyable storylines. This review refers to a finished copy received from Thomas Nelson and Zondervan's Fiction Guild. No compensation was received. All opinions expressed are my own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful story of love and history
*by G***N on June 22, 2017*

I loved this book so much that I have recommended it many times to others. I have always gotten positive feedback from those people who read it. The Wedding Dress was the story of how a dress was worn by four different women in different time periods and no one had to have it altered. This is a romantic and truly magical story. Charlotte Malone is the owner of Malone & Co., a popular bridal shop in Birmingham, Alabama. She wants to make each bride's wedding day very special starting with the right wedding gown. When it comes to her own wedding, she has some doubts. As she tries to pray and meditate about her situation on Red Mountain, her solitude is interrupted by activity of an estate sale at the Ludlow Estate where there is an auction going on to raise money for the poor. Charlotte finds herself pulled to the sale and eventually into bidding on a dull looking old trunk with the lock welded shut. The trunk is one hundred years old and she can't believe that she bought it. But what a treasure the trunk holds! When she gets the trunk open, she finds a beautiful wedding dress of a different time period but in pristine condition. This is a wonderful story of the lives of four different women from different times and life situations. Each person's life story is told and we see them individually but a thread runs through to link them all. We see much more than the story of a dress but we see God's love woven through the lives of the women and how He has a plan for us all. I highly recommend this special book.
