Reviews"...a collection that any fashion lover will covet for her bookshelf. The Dress: 100 Iconic Moments in Fashion is an ode to the most stunning garments Hess has drawn over her career: from designer pieces that have walked the Paris and London runways, to unforgettable ensembles seen on the big screen (Audrey Hepburn, above, donned the embroidered ball gown in 1954's Sabrina) and the most royal of weddings. Each illustration is accompanied by a description of the film or moment when the dress first captured our hearts and stepped into fashion history." - InStyle Magazine
