Hemlock hates wearing dresses, but as it was a gift, shes polite enough to not refuse to wear it. Especially since she has to show some solidarity with her daughter, Alraune, who has the same feelings towards dresses that she does.
Dont worry, it stretches and snaps back enough to not be restrictive. And hey, she can even wear her vinyl gloves out of the house and have them be classy!”
