You remind me of my purple dress. I yearned to have a purple dress, after reading a Disney Cinderella picture book in which one of the ugly stepsisters wore one. One of my grandmother’s friends had a teenage daughter who donated a castoff purple dress she had outgrown…and it was velvet! Obviously it fit me in no way, but that didn’t stop me from wearing it around the house for a couple of years.
