Today’s segment is very short, but one of my favorite parts of the interview! We talked about that gorgeous black dress & I learned an interesting story about it!
About the dress…
Normally I’m pretty good about [trying them on]. Before USA IHC last summer I…brought four different dresses: one for each stage. And then I ran the entire program in each dress that I was going to wear for it. Just to make sure there were no problems. But I didn’t do that this time! So they went back and put in a little gusset to give more space — just the right arm — because the left arm’s fine. So now it’s a custom harp dress.
