Dress 1/folds weird at the hips

Never worn due to the unpredictable folding of fabric.

Dress 2/might fall out of it

Not tight enough or covering enough to feel secure in it.

Dress 3/too innocent, I feel vulnerable

Resembles something a child might wear. Can't leave the house in it.

Dress 4/bum feels exposed

Terry beach dress, yet no matter the circumstance awareness of my body prevails.

Dress 5/attention seeking

Always felt too mature of myself. Felt like a performance.

Dress 6/unforgiving

Leaves nothing for the imagination. Clings, folds, stretches.

Dress 7/saving for a fancy event. even though they've come and gone.

Think 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'. Absolutely beautiful just can't find the courage.

Dress 8/blob prone
