Inspiration
The dress has a Traditional Coast Salish Hummingbird design by their father, Dr. William Good. The hummingbird is a messenger that brings healing and medicine, symbolizing love, beauty and healing. It was important that their dress represented a healing journey in a beautiful way for those battling breast cancer.
