Yeah, I wondered if it was just showing how she does her own thing, just made me and my friend go "wtf is that dress" at the same time. Maybe there was a trend for the style at the time that we missed. Since her other outfits tend to match up with fashions, however ill-advised. :p (iirc she had a denim hat at one point? xD)

Lol, PC's outfits are the best. Her "fellow kids" outfit in S1 with the giant gold chain and knee high socks is still one of my favorites. I don't know which interpretation I like more for her dress. Wearing a crazy thing she genuinely likes could be seen as character growth, I guess. But I also think staying on top of trends is something she enjoys, so it would be interesting to find that it's a reference to something. Or maybe a mashup of every dress trend that was happening at the time, idk. xD

I searched "Princess Carolyn dress why does it look like that" and got nothing.

Ikr?!! Why isn't the whole internet talking about it???! xD Tempted to ask ovarit on an alt.

Yeah, whatever her reasons, I support her! :P But I'm still curious. Re: trends, I agree, and I feel like part of her character is that she genuinely likes what's trendy, which is why she's so good at selling stuff. If she likes something, she can assume that others will.

Pahaha I need to go searching out an outfit compilation now. I think my fave was her "rachel" haircut though. x'D

Maybe the weird dress just hasn't caught on yet!

I was hoping someone had cosplayed her in it, but wasn't able to find anything. No replicas of the dress on etsy or ebay either. It's only a matter of time!

I do like how the dress was a mess because it tried to do everything at once, which is very PC. But it also kind of grew on me because it was weird and she's a pink cat lady who does what she wants. I imagine a lot of people saw the dress and went "wtf? ...ok, fine." To me that fits with how people might react to PC in general.

Did you see Gina's billboard in S6, btw? Saw you mentioned her above and didn't want to spoil it for you!

Oh yeah! I did see it but I didn't consciously register the significance, I was like "oh yeah I remember her name in association with that film" but forgot it was the *same* film. Haha I feel happier now. xD
