Her creative flair seems to get her into trouble faster than she can get out. Kate’s adventures introduce periods of history to girls through fashion. It encourages them to follow their entrepreneurial dreams and most importantly, to be themselves. Kate has been busy designing dresses for Marie and Antoinette, her two little dogs. But now she has a chance to shine as a famous fashion designer, or so she thinks. When Kate’s’ mom, a renowned fashion icon, arranges for Kate to help dress the mannequins at Bergs, New York’s fanciest department store, Kate is jumping for joy. But Kate has to promise her mother that she will dress the mannequins in the exact clothes she is given, and not in one of her own designs. Kate has a problem though, the clothes she given to put on the mannequins are ‘plain and simple’, one color, no jewelry, straight lines…just plain and simple. That’s the latest style and it’s just so “booooring”, it makes Kate feel sad.Kate decides to put a few flowers on the boring brown dresses…and a few more. Before you know it, Kate is bursting with ideas and is happily redecorating the mannequins…until Mrs. Blinker, Bergs owner walks in and almost faints she’ so upset. Kate gets sent home in big trouble. What will happen to her fashion design dreams now?
