What do you do when a dress you love doesn't fit you?

Good day ladies,

I'm having a lolita crisis here. I have a jsk that I adore, and I wear whenever I get a chance. However, I'm fairly tall and although I'm not too 'large' to fit into it, the dress is a baby-doll dress and looks no less than a bit 'peculiar' on me. I've seen tall girls pull off baby-doll but for some reason I feel like the dress and my body shape (which although not too large, is still curvy) do not get along. 

My own personal rule of thumb has always been, a dress should to be worn to flatter both my image and the dress. If it doesn't, then we aren't meant to be. So, I've been thinking about selling the dress. But I really do adore it for its design and print. On the other hand I hate to see it just hang in my closet....and at this point I feel like someone else could do it better justice.  

Has anyone else had this trouble in lolita fashion? Whether it's finding out a dream dress is not the right size or it's in a style you just can't pull off? How did you deal with the heartbreak? What do you ultimately decide? 

With love,
Tiffany~

PS. Am I being melodramatic? lol
