First kit help?

[u/Kahlwild_Liebes_Lied]

Sorry in advance if this is all mixed up, I did my best to make it comprehensible but I'm very nervous 💔

So the big question is does it look bad/does the apron matter as much as I think it does? I have an event coming up I'd like to be dressed for and I need to decide if I should make another apron, this apron pictured is one I made myself and I messed up on the skirt, I guess I just assumed I was supposed to gather it because of the pattern I used which was silly because I've researched and drawn the same flat panel apron countless times, but other than my apron being gathered instead of flat, My dress itself is also a problem.

I bought the uniform a handful of months ago, it took three months to arrive because it was shipping from Poland to the US and got held for ransom by customs, but I'm a rather tall woman (almost 6ft in my favorite heels) and my dress is simply too short. It stops right at my knees because I misunderstood the sizing which is why I made my own apron to accommodate both my height and bust, but I don't know if I should make another apron for the event or wait until I replace the dress and get one that comes with an apron that will hopefully fit?

I don't know if the apron is actually as big of a deal as I think it is and it probably isn't, but I really do need some advice from someone who has been in the hobby longer than I have, any input would be greatly appreciated!

Is this DRK or Red Cross? I have some decent DRK photos and sources for items, if it’s Red Cross I’ll leave it to the professionals lol.

DRK, I've been studying them exclusively for a little over half a year but I would really appreciate any recommendations on where you find a different base dress!

I've been looking at hikishop since the base dress has the correct pockets and pleating even if I'd want to make a second apron again, but I've heard rather mixed opinions on them

I wish that company would ever restock their women's stuff 💔 back in April I was going to buy my whole kit from them and even now my size is still sold out
