Skirting Around The Real Issue
(My friend and I are both girls, and we both do cosplay. I am at her house and we’re both working on costumes for an upcoming convention. She has finished most of the skirt prior to me arriving, and she’s fussing over what is essentially a wonky seam on the petticoat.)
Friend: “It’s just not going correctly!”
Me: “When you put it on, is it visible?”
Friend: “I don’t think so?”
Me: “Put the skirt on.”
(She puts the skirt on. The bit she doesn’t like is pretty much right between her legs and hidden within the folds of the skirt.)
Me: “That doesn’t matter, hun.”
Friend: “But what if someone notices it’s not right?”
Me: “It can only be seen if someone sticks their head up your skirt and puts their face in your crotch. You would have bigger things to worry about than a wonky hem in that situation.”
