Dress A Day, Day 13: Transformation

Tuesday, May 18

Of all my dresses, this is the one I have owned the longest. In fact, it's been in the family for over four decades. I claimed it as my own out of my mother's closet in high school, but I never dared wear it until college - it was so short and the fabric was so delicate! For years I wasn't really sure I could live up to it, and so it only ventured into the world on a very rare occasion. The fact that it sits on me so comfortably today is a testament to my transformation through dance, and this is a dance about transformation.
