Embodied Freedom: Her Connection to Dreamers & Lovers

• The Emotions and Memories the Dress Evokes for Her Now: Joy, love, and the freedom to be herself.

A Random  Moment: She tried the dress on by herself, and it was the first and only one she tried. This was a significant moment for someone who often second-guesses and can be a perfectionist.
