The Perfect Dress

It was white and poufy, with chiffon flowers cascading down it. I couldn’t believe I had come across this beautiful thing in a little vintage shop; in a little run-down town.

I picked up the dress, and took it into the cramped bathroom they had tried to transform into a dressing room. Carefully, I put on the dress and zipped it up, a perfect fit. I walked out of the dressing room to get the verdict from my grandma and mom who had tagged along. Before they said a word I could tell by the looks on their faces that they thought it was beautiful.

When I got home, I carefully hung up the dress in my closet anticipating the moment I would wear it again.
