Publisher's Summary
In Danielle Steel’s epic new novel, the lives of four generations of women in one family span fortune and loss, motherhood, tragedy, and victories.
From the glamorous San Francisco social scene of the 1920s, through war and the social changes of the ’60s, to the rise of Silicon Valley today, this extraordinary novel takes us on a family odyssey that is both heartbreaking and inspiring, as each generation faces the challenges of their day.
The Parisian design houses in 1928, the crash of 1929, the losses of war, the drug culture of the 1960s - history holds many surprises, and lives are changed forever. For richer or for poorer, in cramped apartments and grand mansions, the treasured wedding dress made in Paris in 1928 follows each generation into their new lives, and represents different hopes for each of them, as they marry very different men.
From inherited fortunes at the outset to self-made men and women, the wedding dress remains a cherished constant for the women who wear it in each generation and forge a destiny of their own. It is a symbol of their remaining traditions and the bond of family they share in an ever-changing world.

Pleasantly surprised
I’m not certain why I have never read Danielle Steele’s books - I’ve seen them for years and I guess I thought they were not for me. But I was searching for something different and I truly enjoyed this story! Consider me a new fan. Rich characters and the story moves appropriately through the years.

Boring
Given I am a huge Danielle Steel fan, I'm a little taken back at how boring this book was. I listened clear to the end hoping to hear something better, it just never happened.

historically accurate
A little predictable because I'm a fan of world history, especially the last 200 yrs.

The wedding dress.....
Is so much more than a story about a single dress.
It has history, drama, love & sorrow all in one story.
I listened to it in a day, not wanting to pause for a minute!
A great book
Thank you DS

The usual predictable, vapid fare from Danielle Steel but easy listening and you don’t have to concentrate too hard.

Simply a great story
DS has done it again and created a story that flows at a good speed, has a lovely enduring family history full of twists and turns. The characters are believable and there is no repetition dragging the plot out. Can't recommend more highly enough, once you start it you won't want to stop.

Another 20th Century traditional family saga
Todd McLaren does an excellent job of narration on this Danielle Steel novel which was published in April 2020 during the lockdown when a family saga with all its drama, opulence, hardship, bravery, depression and World War 2 seem somehow relevant to current times.
Some of the story is slow as it goes into incredible detail and then suddenly jumps forward twenty years with only a brief explanation of how we got there. But this is yet another DS story that takes the listener into another world and keeps them hooked.
There’s not much women’s liberation in the 1920’s but there are of course the usual strong women characters with five generations navigating their way to a satisfying conclusion.
Danielle Steel is still prolific after decades of number one bestsellers, she’s still publishing six books a year and her fans eagerly await her next one.
They will be delighted with The Wedding Dress.

A romantic study in generational sin
Danielle Steel knows human nature. She never writes anything implausible, kudos to her also for her historical research. Her children are lucky to have her as a mother
