Valentoine event was great! But the rewards contradict the message

[Avoidy]

I am going to assume they ran into some weird fitting issue with the chest piece and left them gender-locked.

imo they ran into fitting issues regardless. I don't have a pic on hand but ask a male au ra to put on the new item. it gives them the curviest waist in the world, even curvier than some females lol
and then on non-lalafell female races, the dress looks... idk, it's hard to describe. on lalafell it looks pretty good, but on "tall" females it looks like it's almost too small? like the actual dress part comes up just a bit too high in a weird way. and when you sit down, it doesn't bend at all; it just flairs open and lets people see right up to your stomach if you wear any other bottoms with it. and the shoulders look strange to me from the back. the hands clip through the dress too, which was a problem with the previous val dress as well. it just felt off; i was excited for it initially, but in the end i didn't assign it to a glam plate because it just looked poorly fitted and low quality in a lot of ways beyond the outer appearance. The actual appearance of the object is great, but running around in it and using it, for me at least, felt pretty bad. loads of other people obviously love it though lol so i'm not like, pretending to represent everyone. just saying that even without the gender neutral element, they clearly weren't able to nail everything. which is a bummer.
