​           The story takes place in two different places and eras in time; one in 2023 in Los Angeles, where we learn about Gigi, a self-taught dressmaker turned aspiring writer when she discovers Lizzy’s story while doing research for a client's custom order dress that transports Gigi to the 1800’s in the deep South at the height of the Civil War.  ​

​

        Their lives begin to seamlessly weave in and out of the parallels as dressmakers, mothers, wives, friends, daughters, artists, writers and stewards of change. These parallel patterns eventually come together and intersect, and we see first-hand the suffering and cruelty Lizzy endured during her time of enslavement, the challenges Gigi faces in her own life, the shock of Lincoln’s assassination, the grandeur and beauty of the dresses Lizzy made, Gigi’s world wrapped in the haute couture as she threads the pieces of Lizzy's past together and  comes face to face with her biggest fear, Love.
