Cora Larsen is a Victorian tailoress on Regent Street, where she creates dresses that are "the toast of the Season." She is a gifted maker of men's suits too, not that many are willing to have a woman take their measurements. Lord Galavyin believes in marrying for love, not convenience. He feels bad enough about the privilege of being a baron and refuses to consider an arranged marriage. One day, he walks through Cora's door to collect a dress and is smitten with her forward-thinking social ideals. But, despite their growing friendship, he cannot persuade Cora to ignore the difference in their status and address him by his first name—Grant. When Cora loses the lease on her shop, she thinks it is simply a coincidence that the building belongs to Grant's family. She doesn't yet know she is in love with a man whose mother is the worst enemy one can imagine. Grant will do anything to keep Cora safe and employed, even if it takes helping her without her knowledge. What follows is a game of cat and mouse that will test Cora's resolve and Grant's love to their limits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good romance mixed with good historical and societal twists
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019

The relationship between Gavin and Cora was really good. Cora’s ability to earn a living due to her fathers tutelage was amazing. The difference between the way Cora treated others contrasted starkly with how Gavin’s mother treated others. It just was a microcosm of how and what people valued in others. Good author! I appreciated her post novel accounting of historical facts and how she researched various parts of the novel.

This novel is an interesting story of two classes of characters. One, of course, is of a lower class while the other is of the upper class. The mother of the young man of the upperclass does everything in her power to destroy any chance of success and romance. It is an enjoyable book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful way to get back into reading historical fiction, my favorite genre

A delightful way to get back into reading historical fiction. A Love Made to Measure has all of the components I love the most when it comes to fiction reading: a good, well paced story you really want to follow through to the end, rich characters and wonderful social backdrop. Very good period research. And since I love fabrics, clothing, and historical fiction, this was the perfect one for me. Thank you, Eliza Emmett, for this delightful book!

4.0 out of 5 stars very sensitive realistic character studies but would this happen in the Regency period?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 2, 2019
Verified Purchase
A lot of thought went into this drama but still the dowager and her son's sympathy and support for a working class girl seems rather too courageous for this period. Would their own recent background not have got in the way? After all they had no aristocratic clout. Especially when the dowager had committed herself to support such a charlatan of a future bride. I was surprised that her son couldn't see through the farce earlier. Especially as he would have the (surprising) education and experience of a barrister and the wider knowledge of human nature as a result.
