Thanks for your reply.

So do you mean I can mix the tense in one sentence?
eg: I have bought the dress she liked. (present perfect + past simple)
I bought the dress she likes. (past simple + present simple)

Yes, it depends on the time of each event. Did you buy it recently? Did she like it then? Does she like it now?
