Can you recall a time when what you wore--or wish you'd worn--changed the course of your life? These short monologues by women playwrights explore intimate moments involving a dress or other garment that transformed their lives. We hear from an executive constrained in a suit, a black woman surrounded by white dresses, a Girl Scout whose family couldn't afford the uniform, a trans woman recalling a pivotal moment in her youth, a mother persuading her daughter to wear a sacred garment, and many more. Most of the monologues are by North Carolina playwrights, including one from NC Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green, and they cover a range of moods, ages, and experiences.

At a time when only about 30% of theater productions in the U.S. are by women, this show is written, directed, produced, and acted by women.
