How To Be a Wallflower

To please her estranged grandfather, Cleopatra Lewis agrees to escort him during the London Season, but to avoid a marriage proposal, she is resolved to become a wallflower. While at a local shop for theater costumes, Cleo is offended by an overbearing American and impulsively decides to purchase the business, Quimby’s Emporium, out from under him. The wealthy American, Jake Astor Addison, tries to get Quimby’s back with a wager: each of them must design and order clothes for the other to wear during the Season. Jake dresses Cleo in gorgeous couture everyone will envy, making her stand out. Meanwhile, Cleo plans to turn Jake into the dandy of the Season, with outrageous frills and colors. Undeterred, the arrogant Jake moves into Cleo’s hotel and inserts himself into Cleo’s daily life, and it isn’t long before he makes up his mind to steal not only Cleo’s new business but her heart as well.
