Foodie Fiction: 🇬🇧 British Pub Dinner and 💍 The Gown

Join Joanne for some British pub favorites to discuss a novel inspired by one of the most famous dresses in modern history: Princess Elizabeth’s 1947 wedding gown.
Over dinner at Dooney’s Pub, we’ll discuss The Gown by Jennifer Robson—a historical novel that takes readers behind the scenes as two talented embroiderers help create the future Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding dress during the hardships of postwar London. There’s friendship, fashion, royal history, and a mystery that remains hidden for nearly seventy years!
