filmmaker's note
Having dated since high school and together through Jess's recent gender transition, both Libby and Jess have been struggling to define themselves outside of their co-dependent marriage. With The Dress You Have On I wanted to explore a relationship between two people who are still deeply in love, but can no longer be together. While their circumstance is complex, their codependency is universal. So many of us have fallen into relationships that feel so comfortable that we lose ourselves in them. The Dress You Have On approaches the subject with honesty and a love for the characters and their bond. The Dress You Have On stars a transgender actress and a cis-gender actress, has a female director, and had women in several key positions.
