Adapted by Lenny Hort.
Illustrated by
Anna Laura Cantone.
Filomena, "the finest seamstress in Italy," specializes in wedding gowns. She finally gets the opportunity to sew the perfect wedding dress for herself when Filippo, the town mechanic, asks for her hand in marriage. He is soon forgotten as the dress takes up all of Filomena's time, with disastrous results. Sketchy, collage-like illustrations enliven the story and ameliorate the abrupt fairy-tale ending.
