Railroad is in my blood. I designed this dress for my Grandpa Brownie. He was a railroad man, and one of the best, kindest men I’ve ever known. I’ve always been proud to call myself his granddaughter. I’m very inspired in my design process by the great people who’ve come before me, men and women alike. Great railroad stripes make me weak in the knees. I don’t know, maybe it’s in my blood. But every time I wear this dress I feel that I can almost hear my Grandpa playing his harmonica, or see him making his way to the train yard every morning, and I feel like in some small way I’m part of something bigger. Like all the people who’ve come before me are part of me somehow, and I truly believe they are.
