The Prince and the Dressmaker

A sweet graphic novel about a seamstress who wants to be a clothing designer and the prince that hires her. Prince Sebastian sometimes feels like a prince, and sometimes (to his shame) feels like Lady Crystallia, and seamstress Frances designs for both - and you see her career skyrocket as people begin knocking off her designs and she becomes in higher and higher demand. We watch their friendship grow and change, and the way Sebastian tries to keep his secret before his eventually being outed as Crystallia. It wraps up neatly with everyone (that matters, at least) accepting him for who he is, and Frances getting to design her own collections. The art is lovely, and clearly this book has been well-loved because my library copy was pretty close to falling apart. Lovely.
