Chapter 37 Ballgowns and Self Acceptance

• “Elena! Lovely seeing you again!” Came the cheery voice of Meghan as she saunters into the villa. She was dragging a garment rack behind her before she enveloped me in a hug. Her Dior scent was lovely, and it brought a smile to my face. “Lovely to see you as well, Meghan. How was the flight over?” I ask her, and we make polite conversation. We had bonded over the dress design, and I quite liked her.
• “You need to see how this dress turned out! Oh, you will be in absolute love!” She says with excitement to her voice that causes me to get hyped up as well. We walked over to the garment rack and as she unzipped the dress, my heart rate rose. It wasn’t just beautiful, it was exquisite! The rose gold shimmered in the light sweetheart neckline that would amplify my modest bosom, and the long sleeved shawl/bolero with Queen Anne neckline would keep the chill away. The dress had me melting!
• “I… I do not know how to express my feelings right now!” I tell her with tears in her eyes and wrap my arms around her again. She smiles and giggles at my response. “I wish I got this response from all my other clients!” She says as I let go of her and we walk up the stairs to the master bedroom.
