Had a similar problem, but there's an easy fix: right after leaving the dress selection screen, you go into your inventory and change to the dress you want, the reaction will run as if you bought it. Tested it with Lacey.
okay Im having this same exact issue but ! For some god forsaken reason none of the dresses I just bought are showing up in the “ change clothes” it’s driving me nuts !! I wanted a specific dress reaction and no matter how much backing up or deleting saves nothing is working :,(
