the first thing I thought of was something archival.

And so that's kind of when I started doing a little bit

of research and in my research kind

of came across this dress

and the chances that they had it

available was really slim. Crazy

And the chances that it fit me were also pretty slim.

And I couldn't do any tailoring. I couldn't do anything.

And it just worked And it just fit perfectly.

So again, it feels meant to be.

It's meant to be. So kind of goes with the

Garden of Time theme and
