Book cover. In the centre are the two main characters, standing close together as Frances takes a measurement from Sebastian. She is wearing a neat but simple top, skirt and apron, and he is wearing a royal uniform with a cloak. Behind them, taking up the entire cover, is Lady Crystallia wearing a white gown. Golden ribbons twist over the entire cover, and the title is written in a pretty but formal font.
