In the Beginning

In the beginning, there was polyester and chiffon and it was placed in the hands of a seamstress who created - "The Little Pink Dress."

No one knows for sure when she was created, or where, or what her early years were like. But eventually, she found her way into the costume shop of the Broken Arrow Community Playhouse in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where she hung around for no one knows how long.

Then one day, an actress from New York walked into the costume shop searching for the perfect dress for an off-Broadway show she was doing in January, 2009.

The actress only needed the dress for one performance - perhaps two - and she'd looked all over New York City and Tulsa trying to find just the right thing.

But, on that fateful day in December, 2008, she walked into the BACP costume shop and found "The Little Pink Dress" and it was magic.

A choir of angels sang and a bright light shown from heaven as the actress entered the costume shop and hanging right there - as if it was part of a bigger plan - was "The Little Pink Dress."

The actress tried on "The Little Pink Dress" and, of course, it was a perfect fit. She'd found the dress she had been looking for, and it was the beginning of a wondrous journey for "The Little Pink Dress."
