Schaffe @loliryder.bsky.social · 2hI am wearing a dress called a cocoon dress, it's like a tent of soft fabric (made in Canada!). It's ridiculous as an actual dress but my instinct to buy it has panned out, as it's a perfect dress for this occasion. And yes, ty for the suggestion, the incisions seem more intense than I thought. 110
