After seeing the competition pieces turned in by my classmates, I honestly debated whether to even spend the time finishing up my dress. They’re just all SO GOOD.

But here I am, down to the last long evening. I have no good reason, aside from self-doubt to give up. Since self-doubt is not a good enough reason to abandon all of the hours I have put into this, I’m going to stick with it and see where it takes me.
