Bookroo's summary
Princess Bess dazzles in satin and bows by day, but her heart belongs to simpler attire. As she navigates lessons and ballet, her secret wardrobe waits for the night. What does she wear when no one is watching, and why does it bring her such joy? Discover the hidden world of a princess who finds freedom in the most unexpected garments.
From the publisher
Princess Bess has loads of clothes made with satin, snaps, and bows. And she changes them all day, for her lessons and ballet. But if a certain truth be told, her favorite clothes are much less bold. She carefully keeps them out of sight until it’s time for bed at night. Then in her room without a care, she plays in what she loves to wear.
