Lyrically told and set in 1905 to a beautiful ragtime soundtrack, Intimate Apparel is a tribute to the resilience and passion of the female spirit.
Surrounded by exquisitely coloured silks, lace and satins, Esther, a talented and hardworking African-American seamstress has spent many years creating elegant lingerie always destined for others - New York society ladies and prostitutes alike.
Consoled by her private dream represented by the savings hidden in the multi-coloured bed quilt laid out in her boarding house room, the simplicity of her hard-earned life is altered when an unexpected fortune arrives with the opportunity to marry.
