Do you still get free items even if you don't have the character?

MEEEEEEEE

In november 2019, they gave out free cosmetics. One of them was the Kate Denson Song Bird Slip Dress. I didn't own her yet and don't know whether you get the free item even if you don't have it.

The Song Bird Slip Dress, like the other cosmetic rewards from the Howling Grounds and Scorching Summer BBQ events, was not given out to all players, but only to those who had earned it during the corresponding event and later lost it due to a glitch in the game. However, those that did earn those cosmetics received them regardless of whether they owned the character in question. So if you unlocked that item during the Summer BBQ event, but didn't own Kate at the time, then you should get the item regardless. It would simply not appear in your inventory until after you bought the character. This goes for all cosmetics bought or unlocked for characters you don't have. But in the case of the Song Bird Slip Dress, if you never earned the item during the event to begin with, you won't receive it regardless of whether you buy the character or not.
