Huh. That was unexpected. Personally, this was a little hard to read because I wasn't a fan of the art style and overall it was a little boring.... The art did improve at some point
But then there was that fugly ass dress.
I had to put this down for a few weeks as soon as I saw her debut dress. Literally everything clashes design-wise lol. There's the halter shaped turtle neck neckline that gave a more mature vibe that directly clashes with the bright innocent pink and the flared skirt. The lace sleeves? They looked so old fashioned and and disconnected from the rest of the top. It reminded me of when I would where a frumpy T-shirt under my cute dresses to go to Sunday school because I was Mormon and showing your shoulders was practically pornographic. The low waistline just looked.... Odd and created this overly stretched out silhouette, and the way they had the dress bagging out above the ribbon really just contributed to the whole frumpy look. Like... Why is a custom dress for a formal even not form-fitting? Why is it loose and baggy? And if the whole design went that direction and looked flowy or fluffy, that would be one thing. But no. It looked baggy. And it's even more insane to me, because literally EVERY OTHER DRESS in this ENTIRE MANHUA has looked better. A lot of them are still questionable but none have lived for weeks, rent-free in my brain like this.
This is a ridiculously long paragraph for such a non-issue, but I have never felt so baffled by a fashion choice in a manhua.
