The First Dreadful I Jumped to Order
Anxiety Alice is honestly the first Plushie Dreadful that I saw and both went "aaaaaw" and felt the urge like I HAD to order her and was half terrified I'd miss her if I didn't. I have anxiety, I've been looking for an Anxiety Dreadful for a while now but none of the available colors really appealed to me. Then Anxiety Alice arrived and I finally have my little anxiety buddy. She sits on the "Dreadful Shelf" with her siblings at my computer desk, positioned behind me so they can all see what I'm doing.
Honestly, the only thing I don't like is the vivid, pumpkin orange dress, (and her headband is in a drawer because my cat would try to eat it) but I've never been a dress girl and I write it off as it being Alice's dress and Alice likes her dress. I'm also a fall baby so technically the color is fitting if I look at that way, lol.
For those with sensory issues like me, the dress is NOT soft. It's closer to a denim type material, but it feels denser than jeans, if that makes sense? It doesn't bother me since I got forced to get used to jeans when I started working, but if you need soft and cuddly when you're holding her and/or needing her to help calm down, ditch the dress. The heart patch on her chest is soft though, so it makes a nice little stim toy if you're like me and fiddle with those areas where texture changes a lot, lol. Anxiety Alice herself is soft too, just not what I would call soft-soft? Reaching behind me to check, the Black Depression Bun feels softer, like…
