I recently went last week monday, i am a fashion design student who adores Chicago and I went here on an assignment from class. However, when i walked in and saw these dresses I fell in love. My friend and I cried as we walked through and it made us both realize why we are working so hard in school. Thank you so much for inspiring me and giving me the strength to keep going.
