Add to SetSummary
Allie Zecivic listened to an insistent inner voice and purchased this dress, her first article of women's clothing. It helped her to accept her identity as a transwoman. She recalled, "I spent a lot of time sitting alone in my room wearing it, my heart racing and the paranoia spinning horrible outcomes in my head, but it felt right. The validation that dress brought was freeing."
