@the_qa_guy I recently re-read the blog post of yours and always tear up at this passage:
> I was incredibly worried about negative reactions, of being called a freak or being kicked out of the shop. The opposite happened – once the tailor understood that I was serious she had fun to make my body shine in this outfit. When I saw myself in the mirror wearing the fitted dress I felt sexy for the first time in my life.
Because that angst runs so deep in me and the relief how well this worked out for you is giving me incredible hope.
Thank you for sharing, it really means a lot to me :3
@the_qa_guy I'm sooo grateful for you having written this experience down! :3
Yes, this indeed helps, although I wouldn't dare buy a dress yet except online. But I recently bought a snazzy blazer in Barcelona (after having only positive experiences there) while being accompanied by my gf, a mutual friend and her mom :'-)
The tripled support definitely helped!!
@the_qa_guy Thank you!! :3 It was truly amazing an experience and the people at the shop were *so* understanding!
And thanks again for being so publicly outspoken about your experience, especially also as a parent with children! Reading those stories feels incredibly liberating! <3
