/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm the girl who took her mother's word in lending a dress to a girl (my mother backed her up, having taught her for years). You can check the old thread for the whole story as to why/for what/etc.

Well, update. Finally got my dress back, and I can tell why she didn't want to give it back. Stains everywhere. There were dirt stains on the INSIDE of the dress, and even on the skirt lining! The white collar had makeup and food stains on it, and it looked like a pig fucking rolled around in it!
None the less, I've been using various washing and stain removing techniques the past week, and it's finally starting to come along. The only stain that's left is a food stain on the collar.
Also where it laces up in the back, one of the loops was tearing off. I fixed it, but I still don't know how she managed that...? I had taken the ribbon out months before I lent it (It's hard as shit to tie it without help), so I'm imagining she must have pulled on it trying to get the dress off one day.

Moral of the story, I don't care how sweet/nice/trustworthy someone is. I'm not lending out any of my shit ever again.
