Finding the right dress didn't come quickly for Clare. She knew what she wanted; she just couldn't find it. There was nothing in the first three stores which really spoke to Clare. There was nothing in the two that came afterward, either.
After digging through five whole stores without success, Clare was upset. She was on the verge of giving up. As is so often the case, though, that's when her ideal dress appeared as if by magic in the sixth store.
