[The place was huge. Long stairs helped people climb and reach all the outfits. Long cloth strips divided each garment and gave them the protection needed. There were more than half a million dresses. The oldest dress had been kept there for at least 50 years.

The legend goes like this:

through absurd changes
to find we were always embraced
by the star of eternity.
