The Prince and the Dressmaker is a cute story about a prince who crossdresses and finds a seamstress to do his clothes. They conquer the fashion world together, but of course the prince needs to get married and his secret is too much and surely it gets exposed. The comic is about being different and thus even so, being perfect. It about love and acceptance and finding your soulmate who understands you and lets you be you. It's not earthshaking or too complicated, mostly it just brings joy and is an easy read in a sense. So, if you expecting a mind-blowing take on crossdressing, then look for somewhere else. The psychological aspect is quite thin, but it didn't bother me at least. I'm so happy comics like this are made, since the topic is important and that the tone is positive instead of depressing.

The art is beautiful and the feelgood style is very fitting. The peachy color world is awesome and the prince's dresses are just wow. The style is quite simple and the panels flow nicely too, so it takes no time to read this art-wise either. The text font does really fit though, it looks like it's detached from the comic, since the style is different. A slightly thicker font would do more justice. I wish many people will read this, since The Prince and the Dressmaker is an easy and wonderful take on an important topic, even if it's not mind-blowing explosion of human rights.

This book was amazing. The author and illustrator has taken a hot button subject and made it and approachable for all users. The prince is in need of a seamstress. He needs one who can be brave and daring. One who can design a dress for him, that makes him feel like the person he is. And so Lady Crystella was born. Everything has a great flow, and does not take time to explain things. It reads as everyday, but completely wonderful. The Prince has some wonderful dresses, and the ending give me that happy smiley feeling and expression.

Jen Wang's "The Prince and the Dressmaker" is sweet and funny! The way she draws expressions and conveys so much through them is fantastic.

This was absolutely stunning. The art was so cute and so was the story. It was all about being who you are but also standing up for yourself. A quick, but adorable read. We need more of these. Especially books with this subject matter. I hope there's more! I ship Frances and Sebastian so hard.

I couldn't read this since it was a protected PDF, and I need a Kindle file.

This is a very sweet and lovely story, with fun art and a kindhearted message about being yourself. The dress designs, in particular, are a lot of fun. I can see this book having appeal for older middle grade students, as well as young adults.

As a side note, I'm not tagging this as queer or LGBTQ because nothing was ever explicitly stated beyond the prince being gender non-conforming.
