My Dress Has a Fancier Life Than I Do.....
My journey with this dress began on a late Tuesday night. There might have been wine involved. 🍷 I saw two numbers on the screen: 14 and 14. "A sign!" I whispered to my unimpressed cat. "The universe is telling me, twice, that this Size 14 is for me." I clicked ‘Buy Now’ with the confidence of a Roman emperor. 💳
When the box arrived, I knew I’d made a terrible, glorious mistake. It wasn't just a box; it was a small apartment for a very fancy hamster. 🐹 Inside, lay The Dress. The color wasn't just "White." It was the white of a polar bear's soul, the white of a cloud that has achieved enlightenment. So bright, you needed sunglasses. 😎
The tag said, "100% Polyester; Lining: 100% Silk." This confused me. It's like having a superhero's body with a billionaire's pajamas on the inside. Luxurious, yet... synthetic? 🤔The Doily Diaries: How I Accidentally Bought a Work of Art...
Then I read the description: "Crafted from intricate scroll guipure lace." In human terms, it was made of the world's most expensive and structurally ambitious doily. It had more holes than a cheese grater, creating an "air of lightness" that felt more like an "air of 'please don't snag me on a doorknob or I will unravel into a single, sad thread.'" 🧵
Putting it on was a religious experience. The "fitted bodice" hugged me like a long-lost, very judgmental aunt. The "asymmetrical hemline" meant I looked chic and modern from the left, and like I’d lost a fight with a lawnmower from the right. It was, as they said, a "delicate balance of structure and fluidity." I felt like a magnificent, uncooked lasagna noodle. ✨
The real terror struck when I saw the care instructions: "Dry Clean Only." This wasn't a suggestion. It was a threat. You don't "clean" this dress; you present it to a team of mystical monks who gently whisper the dirt away.
I wore it once. To my mailbox. 📮 I walked with the stiff posture of a Buckingham Palace guard, my arms out to fend off rogue dust bunnies and aggressive butterflies. Every step was a prayer. A bird flew overhead and I nearly fainted. 😱

The dress now lives in my closet, shrouded in its original packaging. It is my monument to questionable life choices. It "fits true to size," but it does not fit true to my lifestyle of occasionally spilling coffee on myself. ☕️ It is a beautiful, terrifying work of art. I am both its owner and its prisoner. Send help. And a Tide pen. 😂🙏
