Retail Therapy Session #1

Perhaps it's because I haven't been shopping for a dress in a long time.


So when the petite saleslady with long eyelashes and brown hair ala cute Korean-girl style told me their dresses are free-size, I was fascinated. Well OK, I was initially sceptical...but that lasted for about 5 seconds and then I thought "Well this is interesting!".


I picked out 3 dresses to try:

1. A black dress that I can wear to work - because one must always have little black dress for all occasions

2. A white dress with red flowers - because it was different

3. A yellow summer dress - well, because it's yellow....



Verdict?

1. Yellow dress - Too tight waist up

2. White dress - Too tight waist down

3. Black dress - Hmmm, looked promising....until I reached my hand upwards (coz I have to be able to get drugs from top shelves) and felt the limitation, and bent over (coz I also have to get drugs from lower shelves) and....well I couldn't bend over O.o


Not so 'free-size' after all.


So because there was no occasion that involved 'just standing around' to wear the black dress for, I left the shop empty-handed. From that day on, I decided that free-size doesn't really work for dresses because most dresses are not elastic-ky or stretchy, and even if they were, if it has to be stretched to fit, it wouldn't look as nice (unless you're super-skinny, in which case you'd probably fit into the free-size without having to stretch anything anyway) *takes deep breath*
