text: When I wore the dress to the dance I got a lot of compliments! At first I didn't see the beauty in myself. I was blinded by the pressures of middle school and trying to fit it. Over the years has broke down the confidence and self esteem I had when I was a child. When I was little I did not care what other peoples outfits looked like or what the latest fashion trend was. All I thought about was recess, play time, nap time, lunch time and snack time was. So, my friends and mothers opinions helped me see that I looked very flattering in this dress. If I didn't ask for their opinions, I would have put this dress back on its rack. In my case you could say that it was beneficial to ask for more than one opinion.
