If you’ve been a female gamer for twenty years (or more), you know that wrapping your body in a nerdy dress was only possible if you made the dress yourself out of your brother’s Star Wars sheets. Seriously, it was that hard.
Luckily, in this beautifully modern era, that’s no longer the case. Thanks to retailers like Black Milk and Her Universe, there are more dresses that flaunt your nerdy leanings than you’d know what to do with. So many, that we’ve weeded out the best of the best so you can furnish your closet accordingly.
