>>10148593
This is an uncomfortably familiar feel.
>friend is posting daily social media updates about how she's sewing some hot pink circle skirt with cupcakes
>friend is into cosplay and only wears jeans + t-shirts otherwise so I assume it's for cosplay
>meet up at small local alternative/goth/fantasy event, I’m wearing toned down classic lolita (my daily wear) and she’s wearing what looks like a calf-length square dance skirt made from fabric kind of like pic related with a square dancing petticoat hanging around her ankles, a black anime graphic tee and green converse
>keeps talking about how she hopes there’s a vendor selling flower crowns, eventually finds one and plops it on her head
>idk anymore if this is a cosplay or just a quirky outfit but whatever, she’s enjoying herself and everyone here’s dressed kinda weird anyway so who cares
>run into a few local lolita friends, have a short friendly chat before we move on to grab something to eat
>friend seems a little grumpy and wants to leave early
>that evening she complains on FB about how disappointed she is that nobody complimented or asked for photos of her “sweet lolita chord [sic]”
>I’m sorry your… what
>your what?
>I don’t

I sew lolita myself and have shown her my complete collection of OnS books, though at the time she said she was only interested in the patterns for cosplay purposes. I don’t understand why she wouldn’t at least mention to me that the skirt she was working on was supposed to be lolita. Maybe she thought it would be obvious?
