Based on best-selling author Paul Gallico’s much-loved novella, MRS HARRIS GOES TO PARIS tells the story of a cleaning lady in 1950s London who, in late middle age, falls madly in love with an haute couture dress by Christian Dior and decides she must have one.

She slaves, starves and gambles in order to raise the vast sum required to pursue her dream. When she finally makes it to Paris, she not only conquers the intimidating world of Dior but changes the fate of the House itself. Her disarming authenticity charms everyone around her, and her adventure ultimately transforms her as well.
