The Dream Dress by Janice Thompson

About the Book
A seamstress at a swanky bridal boutique, Gabi Delgado dreams of doing more than ripping out seams and fitting dresses to doe-eyed brides. She wants to see her own dress designs gracing the young women of Texas. When Jordan Spencer, the editor of Texas Bride magazine visits the shop to do a feature, Gabi is devastated to lose her job in his very influential presence. Convinced she'll never get her dreams off the ground now, Gabi needs lots of encouragement--especially from her friend Bella Neeley--to take a chance and start her business. And as she gets to know Jordan, she discovers that she may have to take a chance on love as well. Could it be that she'll have to design her own wedding dress soon?
As always, Janice Thompson delivers fun, laughter, and romance as she takes readers back to Galveston, Texas, to spend more time with their favorite quirky characters along with fabulous new ones.

My Thoughts
Another fun book from Janice Thompson! From the brief moments we saw Gabi in the previous book I knew I was going to like her story and I did! Having watched Say Yes to the Dress several times I had an idea of what went on behind the scenes of a wedding gown boutique but it was cool to get an even closer look at the craziness that the alterations specialist has to put up with!
Gabi was a great character and I loved how humble she was about her abilities and how dedicated she was to her work!
And I really liked Jordan! It was great how he didn't exploit the not so great things he learned even though he as a reporter he could have. I also really liked how he was constantly encouraging Gabi.
Gabi's mom and Mimi were fun new characters and I loved seeing all the characters from the Weddings by Bella series and the previous to books in this series again.
The Fred and Ginger references were fun and there were quite a few funny moments!
A great ending to another fun series!
