Something Old, Something Used

The big complaint about wedding dresses often is that you'll only wear it once, and there's no way to reuse it.



This dress won't help you with that. It will, however, help you if you want to look like you're reusing the table cloths from your wedding.

I'm trying to figure out under which circumstances this dress would be flattering. If there weren't the gathered tiering, and it just poufed out stiffly, it might actually be appealing in a retro way. But this just is droopy and sack-like, while still adding too much volume to actually be a sack.

So, as I said in the beginning, it looks like you're either reusing the table clothes from your wedding, or you're going to look like a centerpiece from that wedding. Just keep that in mind when people start asking you where you got that - they're not asking for the dress's designer, they're asking for the event planner.

I always hated the challenges on America's Next Top Model or Project Runway where the contestants would have to either design or model clothes made out of recycled materials. I'm sorry, I just don't see how constructing a dress out of newspapers makes you a good designer. I don't. I'm dense like that.



Or, at least, I always hated those challenges until recently. Now, it makes sense, given that stores are designing clothes made from recycled trash bags.
