The Dress With 100 Pockets

Author: Lily MurrayIllustrator: Jenny Løvlie

When Lucy and Aunt Augusta are invited to a famous fashion show, they set out to create their most daring design yet: the dress with 100 pockets! This charming story challenges the idea that dresses are purely decorative, showing instead how fashion can be practical, adventurous and fun. With creativity, humour and bold illustrations, it celebrates thinking outside the box and pushing the boundaries of design and self-expression.
