The Empresses' New Clothes

Ya gotta wonder about designers sometimes. Are they sitting at sidewalk cafes snickering at us over their lattes?

Static cling used to be a bad thing. This designer decided to create fashions with the look built right in. It may be difficult to tell looking at one photo, but the entire dress sits crooked and the "pleats" have a haphazard appearance. Symmetry is so last season!
The leg bands are a nice touch, too, don't you think?

This skirt looks like a length of fabric was wrapped, tucked and perhaps taped into place. I'd like to see the dry cleaners' faces when they try to figure out if their cleaning ruined the shape, or if it simply needs a good pressing.

This reminds me of a tablecloth my grandmother didn't use anymore.

This is a frugal purchase, since the wearing of undergarments is optional. (Good thing this is on a manikin. Otherwise, I would have to add a warning for moms who read blogs with a toddler or two on their laps.)

Here is a closeup of the front. Perhaps I should have added the warning anyway.



And now, for the Pièce de résistance

I especially like the idea of recycling garbage bags into chic turtlenecks. After all, we are counting down to earth day.

I'll bet you can come up with some better comments. Please share them below. If you happen to own one of these creations, I'm sure it looks absolutely stunning on you!
