The Day I Tried My Wedding Dress
The True Love Wedding Dress
Long ago, a poor servant girl created an exquisite wedding gown for her haughty mistress, who was to marry the man that the girl loved with all her heart. Though tempted to stop the marriage using her secret magical skills, she instead ensured the groom's happiness by enchanting the dress so that whoever possessed it would be blessed with true love.
But the spell went delightfully awry, working its magic for the servant girl instead of her mistress-and then the dress mysteriously vanished. Who knows where or when it may turn up next, for some blushing bride to claim as her very own?

A Wonderful Anthology!
By MaryGrace Meloche - November 15, 2005Giving an overall rating to an anthology is always VERY difficult. Some stories hit and some miss. Yet, I always enjoy reading an anthology, because you USUALLY come across an unfamiliar author . . . someone new and satisfying.
Scotland, 1790. As she quietly sewed, Aileanna MacEwan moved her weary fingers over the beautiful wedding gown, but alas, the exquisite dress was not for her. It was for her spoiled, ungrateful mistress. Sadly, Aileanna winced. All seemed so unfair, for she was in love . . . in love with the intended groom. Yet, Aileanna knew she COULD give her beloved a lifetime filled with happiness, for inside her flowed the blood of a sorceress and for the man of her dreams, Aileanna WOULD cast a spell . . . and so the legacy of the bewitched wedding dress begins . . .

By Annie - December 1, 2005I agree with the previous reviewer that rating anthologies can be tricky as some stories are always better than others. This one is no different. The book starts off promisingly, with the prologue by Catherine Anderson (who also does the books epilogue). A servant, Aileanna, who descends from a line of sorceress', is stitching her selfish, mistresses wedding dress. Our witch, though, is in love with the groom-to-be, Halford, a highborn English gentleman. Though magic, the dress is blessed to bring good luck to whomever wears it and our couple run off to get married. Halford is willing to forgo his inheritance to be with her and even suggests going to America. Then the story ends.
I had thought that all the stories would be tied together not though a dress but though family connections to that couple. Aileanna had red hair and Halford incredible blue eyes and blond hair and all our hero/heroines had some of the mix. But it was never clear if indeed anyone was... read more
Really fabulous anthology
By Marisa - December 3, 2005I'm kind of sick of anthologies that have two good stories and three bad ones, but this antho is enough to change my mind. First of all, I loved the Brockway one called Glad Rags. Because it was hot: the hero is totally in lust, but he's going off to war, and he doesn't want to leave the heroine alone if he dies. So he backs out of the marriage--and I was DYING for him to come back and make love. Which he does. Fabulous story. I really liked the other ones too, although they don't stand out quite as clearly -- but this is one of those anthologies where I kept reading right through all of them. That almost never happens for me.
I highly recommend this one!
