/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>a few months ago
>bf goes to one of his major LARPing events
>he knows I'm interested in it
>brings me home a LARP "dress" for my birthday
>it was a nice thought...but...
>it smells like smoked ham
>the dress is about 2-3 sizes too big and fits like a nun gown (and looks like it too)
>the dress gets thrown on a chair in my room and forgotten

>be a couple days ago
>bf springs it on me that a LARPing event with my campus is Saturday
>don't have anything prepared but he expects me to wear the ugly dress
>don't let on how annoyed/irritated that I have to wear it but remind him that I don't have any other garb or a weapon
>though my weapon would either be staff or bow because I can't melee in a dress
>casually joke about wearing the "potato sack/nun outfit"
>I actually think I hurt his pride a bit, as he thought his outfit choice was pretty good

I feel like a bitch. I apologized to him, but I don't think he'll ever feel comfortable with buying me clothes again. I buy him new clothes and he seems pretty grateful most of the time.
I just can't feign gratitude for something so ugly. I feel like he picked the most unsexy thing on purpose.
