How about you watch it again? Mulan seemed pretty pleased to be dressed up. She's happy with her appearance, but the issue isn't that she doesn't like the whole idea of being married or anything--that's never actually suggested, and I REALLY think it would have been if that's the case--the issue is that she can't be the person her parents want. Even though she WANTS to be, even though she's TRYING. She's too awkward, too clumsy, not graceful enough.

She never, EVER expressed that she hated the way life was treating her. That was Merida. People always project that into Mulan, but she actually is less obvious of a character. She loved being a soldier because she found a place where she could bring honor to her family and not be a whole fuck up. That's her main contention through the whole fucking movie.
