Since it's fashion week in New York, I picked up this YA novel to read. Written by an Australian writer it is written in a lyrical style and it has elements of issue, supernatural and mystery fiction. One is very much aware as the novel progresses that Rose should forget making the midnight dress.

Really lovely lyrical story about friendship and family set in 1980s small town Australia. A slow-moving story for the most part but reader interest is kept by having each chapter framed by a future mystery that doesn't bode well for our main characters. Really gorgeous writing, a well-developed and unusual setting, and a compelling narrative. Loved it.
