This Par Avion dress is my very first ModCloth and the first dress that truly set my heart a-flutter. I was still finding my way in the fashion world. I'd been busy with toddlers for so long and before that I was a poor grad student and before that I was a poor undergrad student. This was the first time in my whole life maybe, but at least since my teens that I was able to think about what looked good on me while expressing who I am and how I wanted the world to see me. And this dress did all of that. Admittedly it was way too long. I had to take up the hem by about 5 inches, but it remains to this day one of my absolute favorites that I could never part with. The price tag back was beyond what I normally paid for a single piece of clothing...that's why I asked for it for Christmas. My dear sweet little mama bought it for me and we've both been loyal ModCloth customers since then. I know we have to be reasonable with our budgets, but there is a time and place to splurge on a unique piece of clothing that makes you feel like nothing else can. For me it was this dress and all these years (8? 10?) it still makes me feel lovely beyond measure in a way that no other dress does or can, and that is very great gift indeed.
