For Nell Marchwold, bliss is seeing the transformation when someone gets a glimpse in the mirror while wearing one of her creations and feels beautiful. Nell has always strived to create hats that bring out a womans best qualities. She knows shes fortunate to have landed a job as an apprentice designer at the prominent Oscar Fields Millinery in New York City. Yet when Nells fresh designs begin to catch on, her boss holds her back from the limelight, claiming the stutter shes had since childhood reflects poorly on her and his salon. But it seems Nells gift wont be hidden by Oscars efforts. Soon an up-and-coming fashion designer is seeking her out as a partner of his 1922 collection. The publicity leads to an opportunity for Nell to make hats in London for a royal wedding.
