“Everything Nice” is the embodiment of what society deems as the perfect female form. It is the first in a series of dresses that show the evolution of female stereotypes from birth to death. 

It utilizes an embellished Easter bonnet and dress that Jill’s mother made for her first daughter as the center of a sparkly, iridescent halo. It uses imagery associated with the Virgin Mary to imbue a vision of pureness without fallibility.
