Yes!

"Looks good. Can we take this with us please?" You gave a **** stare at your Mum when she said that. But you do like the soft material and how it felt like against your skin. You think it was made of satin or silk, but you're not that sure.

"Sure! After Alex takes off the nightie, I'll bring all the dresses to the cashier, you can proceed to the cashier to make your payment after that. Meanwhile, you may look around. There might be more things that interest you, like perhaps a skirt or shorts. We have some underwear selections as well at that corner." Monica said before she walks away with the two black dresses.

You changed back to your own clothes and met up with Mum outside the changing room. Both of you proceeded to the cashier. At the cashier, Monica was already waiting at the counter with the bag of clothes we purchased. "The 3 dresses are packed inside. Do take a look inside before paying, it will be a total of $223.10 inclusive of all taxes. You can come back within 7 days for one to one exchange."

You were dumbfounded about the price of 3 dresses. You could easily get a lot of T-shirts and a couple of jeans with that cost. Your mum just made the payment and turned to face you.

"Alex, do you want to go to the lingerie's shop wearing a dress or the way you came? We could make use of the changing room if you want to wear a dress. But it's entirely up to you."

Wearing a dress might deter unwanted attention but you've never stepped out of the changing room in a dress. Wearing jeans and a T-shirt would definitely invite unwanted attention.
