And so we come to what is now an annual feature of the Bethany House fiction blog…pairing the costuming choices of some of our historical book covers with modern fashion! Take a look at these beauties, releasing in 2021, and their corresponding lookalike dresses. (You can scroll through first, second, and third years of doing this as well.)







Which of these dresses is your favorite? Which do you think matches the book cover most closely?
Always a fun post! I think As Dawn Breaks and The Nature of a Lady match extremely well!
Oh gosh, I think either The Nature of a Lady or My Dear Miss Dupreé! Super cute!
I think As Dawn Breaks matches the best of them.
I like As Dawn Breaks! 🙂
I, too, think As Dawn Breaks is the closest match!
I like the As Dawn Breaks match the best.
My favorite and what I think is the closest match would be A Dawn Breaks.
My favorite is the modern version of Shadows of Swanford Abbey. I agree with the majority that As Dawn Breaks is the closest match.
My favorite dress is the one that matches “The Nature of a Lady”. But as for which most closely matched the cover, the dress that looks like Kate Breslin’s book also closely resembles the cover. It’s just not my style.
This is so fun! I love the pink dress of Shadows of Swanford Abbey!
