Dresses, Drama, and a Dash of Cocktails
So, our protagonist and her roommate Claire were just trying to find a little happiness in their lives by treating themselves to some new sundresses. But their body-positive roommate Joan was not having it! She went on a rant about the sizing of the dresses and even gave them an ultimatum to return the dresses and apologize. While our protagonist admits she might’ve been a bit tipsy and insensitive, she doesn’t think their choice of clothing should be dictated by Joan’s beliefs. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this fashion-forward fiasco…
