If dresses could talk what stories might they tell? This compelling collection of short stories essays and poems features dress as the structural grounding for autobiographical accounts from women's lives in Western society. Often personal in nature these dress stories point unfailingly to matters of social and cultural import. Some of the dresses described inhabit the popular imagination: the little girl dress the communion dress the school uniform the prom dress the wedding dress the little black dress and the burial dress. Beyond the semiotic tactile and visual aspects of the dresses themselves the narratives delve into what dresses reveal about fundamental aspects of human experience: identity embodiment relationship and mortality. Bought or made then worn forgotten remembered re-constructed and re-interpreted each dress offers a new glimpse into how we construct meaning in our daily lives and how dresses serve to reinforce or resist social structures and cultural expectations.
