This is an excellent story on many levels--am surprised it didn't contend for winning the Locus. The setting is unique--a market where used wedding dresses are sold by the owners. A drag queen comes there to find a unique look for the Hymen Cup, a wedding drag competition. The price to be paid for a dress is the absorption of the pain that went toward the decision to put it up for sale. The characters in the story are powerful. I can highly recommend reading Dresses Like White Elephants.
