Dress A Day, Day 16: Resisting the Corner

Friday, May 21

A recent acquisition, sold to me as a "tunic". It's dress status can be debated, I admit, as I wouldn't dare to wear it without leggings, not even for the video. I bought it new, rather late in the evening, after a particularly trying day on my recent trip to Israel. Its purchase was an act of resistance against the role I was being cornered into playing that day. The pattern reminded me of my childhood dresses but the cut revealed my adult figure - perfect for the alchemical transformation I was in search of.
