Louise loves vintages clothes. She can't believe her luck when an invitation arrives to a traveling vintage fashion sale. The invitation is just in time, as she needs a dress to wear to the seventh-grade dance.
She drags along her best friend and searches the racks until she finds a pink dress that calls to her. At first, the two saleswomen hesitate at her trying on the dress, but then they change their minds.
As soon as Louise puts on the dress, she stumbles into a time-warp where she becomes a Hollywood star from the early 1900's. At first, everything is wonderful, as Alice Baxter is gorgeous and owns the most wonderful clothes. Soon, though, Louise realizes that the ship she's traveling across the ocean on is the Titanic.
Louise must figure out how to save herself from one of history's most tragic disasters.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the vintage feel of the dresses, the elegance of the ship, and the differences between Louise and Alice. I also liked reading about the luxury of the ship and the differences in classes. I found Louise to be charming, sweet, smart, resourceful, determined, and a girl with a wicked sense of fashion.
The artwork in the book is amazing, full of beautiful dresses that spark the imagination. I'm looking forward to reading about more of Louise's adventures.
