Highland Belle (1991)
“Shed had no heart to summon Spring to her chores the morning after her marriage, but dressing without her cousins assistance was proving hopelessly impossible.
Brigette was ensnared inside the voluminous folds of her gown, unable to free herself or locate the armholes. Why is a grown woman incapable of dressing herself? she wondered, frustrated. Brigette struggled on valiantly, her determination growing apace with her frustration.
Across the chamber, Iain watched the war being waged between his wife and her gown. The wryest of smiles touched his lips.
Success! Brigette found the sleeves and slipped her arms in. The gown cleared her head and slid into place. Only the buttons remained. Reaching around, Brigette found the button at her waist, and the battle began in earnest. She contorted this way and that, but the sides of the bodice would not meet. Never mind, she told herself. She would begin at the top.
The two top buttons were deceptively easy, and her confidence grew. Brigette coul...d reach the third button but was unable to pull the sides of the bodice together.MoreLess
