Forming part of Hallmark Channel’s “Fall Into Love” programming event, Romance in Style will feature Grey’s Anatomy star Jaicy Elliot in the lead. The movie will also star Benjamin Hollingsworth (Virgin River) and model/designer Candice Huffine. Read on to find out more about this body-positivity movie on Hallmark.
About Romance In Style on Hallmark Channel
The new, original Hallmark movie Romance In Style tells the story of Ella (Jaicy Elliot), a confident and passionate aspiring plus-size fashion designer. In fact, Ella wants to design and make clothing for women like herself.
However, while working as a freelance seamstress for a high-profile fashion publication, she meets handsome Derek (Benjamin Hollingsworth). Derek is known as a “Prince of Publishing” who is preparing to take over the magazine business from his father. While being pressed to learn more about the fashion business, he enlists Ella’s help to show him the way.
While Ella and Derek come from different worlds, they are drawn to each other. However, the question is whether they can work past their differences to overcome unexpected work obstacles. It is also whether they can meet the expectations of what makes a conventional couple. This leads to the question of whether they can prove that love can be found where you least expect it.
